Nothing wrong with a Rover V8 engined one, but in the long run the original engine will add to value. I agree, about meticulous servicing - particularly on the coolant side.

Stags were notoriously the most stolen classic car a few years ago.

I have a Dolly Sprint and the good bit is that parts for 70's Triumphs are plentiful (some repro parts are poor quality) and Stags are not the worst cars for corrosion. Lovely feelgood factor with that 'whoof' noise from the V8 and the smart interior. Not a car for parking in a street and using all year round though.
