Further to my first posting on 12/10 I yesterday bought a stag -a 1975 white MOD- from a dealer so I may have paid a bit over the odds but I feel more confident this way especially as I saw the car in the state it arrived at the dealer rather than after it's "done up". Thanks to the advice received from other members and a local enthusiast I rejected many others which on the surface would have appeared more attractive to the uninitiated such as I was before.

Great decision Andrew, I'm sure you won't regret it.
I bought my Stag in May and have enjoyed a fantastic summer with it. Not gettingmuch use at the moment though with all this wet weather.
Did you buy it from Spring Grange Classics by any chance? Ibrowse his website from time to time and noticed a white 75 Stag had sold. I met Tony the owner when I bought a hard top stand from him earlier this year, spent a couple of hours with him showing me his set up and the cars he was working on and he seemed a genuine guy,very knowlegeable and passionate about Stags.
Good luck,happy motoring and lets hope for some dry weekends.

When the sun comes out and your top goes down it will take all of 10 seconds toforget that you may have paid over the odds.
Happy motoring.

I collected my Stag from Spring Grange yesterday and had an uneventful journey home to Yorkshireat my normal driving speed. I was pleasantly reassured how it kept up with the traffic on the M1 and how comfortable it was - almost as good as my V70. A lot of work had been done including new wheels and tyres, new viscous coupling, paintwork and lots of other stuff I don't understand, the idea being that won't need anything doing for a year barring the unexpected. So far so good!Comment
