Stag Training.

[Guest]

A very nice man, an old fashioned "proper" mechanic, at my local garage gave me this today, it was issued new to him, but has never been opened, 94 pages of pics I've not seen before, printed in 1970. Me chuffed Martin.

I got one with my car five years ago and have loaned it out a few times. Anyone got the video (film?) or slides which seems to have accompanied it.

I don't have it at present but am fairly sure mine is a reprint of the 1970 one. So you may have a rare first edition Martin.

I bought one of those on ebay.

When it arrived I discoverd that it was a modern photocopy :X.

I checked back at the description and it didn't state that it was original.:X. I should have read the description more carefully!

The club here in Oz have an original copy in mint condition, unfortunately no filmstrips that accompanied it.

I have an original one as well, they come up quite often on Ebay. It is quite enlightening to see they gointo great length'rebuilding the water pump' and 'replacing the timing chains' far more detail than you would find in other manufacturers service notes.

Yep, they knew the weak points even when they launched the car! - Alan

PS the other surprise you get when it arrives is that it is only about 4.5" x 3" big

My 'photocopy' is A4. I thought the text seemed a bit big :shock:.

I will have a look when I get home. It was described as 'Rare' and from that I incorrectly assumed that it was original.

Got mine with my first stag nearly twenty years ago complete in the original plastic wallet along with the drivers handbook, Triumph sales and service directory and a A3 folded wiring diagram all in prestine condition

believe it all to be original as my old car was one of the last in production and only had a couple of owners before me.

what would that lot be worth:shock:
