Hi All,
Just a quick hello to everyone from a new Stag owner, I have always wanted to own a Stag from my teenage years having first seen one whilst on my paper round, I must have been 14/15yrs I've waited almost 40yrs to own one...
I have not been without a Triumph in all these years, my first car was a 1966 Triumph 1300 fwd (GCR758D), once I'd passed my test at 17 I bought a 1974 mimosa yellow Dolly Sprint (NBP10M) and then at 18yrs old I purchased a white Sprint (LHP689V). Through the years other Dolomites came & went but around 2005/6 I went and bought my current Dolly Sprint (WVF869S) and despite infrequent use (8-900 miles pa) we have no plans to separate now that the Stag has arrived...
My car is a 1977 Tahiti Blue Stag with nearly 48k (ARW626S), it has spent it's last 10yrs in a barn in York, the previous owner being a farmer did not have time to use it and subsequently it only covered around 400 mls in his ownership. It was a bit of a risk, but I was assured the car was good to drive and for the first time in 10 yrs the Stag undertook a 270 mile trip south to Southampton, despite some concerns over the braking efficiency (possible air in hydraulics) the Stag did not miss a beat and happily got us home at a steady 65-70mph. We did have a car accompany us home just in case we had any problems but overall I was pleased that this support was not needed.
Hopefully, I'll get to meet some of you Southern based members sometime soon, I have many questions to ask on the subject of Stags, so please be patient with this newbie...
Regards Dave
