This is a tale of woe for me but might be a result for someone with time and space. Went to an Iconic classic car auction last September and came away with this Stag. Wanted one since 17 but my circumstances mean I shouldn't have been buying anything as I need to put money towards buying a house (read between the lines) where I want to live in home town it highly unlikely I will find something with a garage if I can even afford anything round here.
Anyway to the car, it's carmine red, showing 60k but speedo doesn't work, I am told by the previous I met at the auction it's right. I am the 4th owner, it's had lots of work including gearbox and overdrive rebuild a few years ago. Stag owners club tell me it's the 24th car on the last production run at the factory. It's in generally good condition, solid, I've done a few jobs , replaced coolant, oil and filters Inc a flush, plugs. It's runs, stops and starts easy, new wheels and tyres, sits well on the road, has a new soft top and comes with hardtop. As with all classics it needs work , it has micro blistering in the paint and although it doesn't overheat it seems to be using water, I haven't got to the bottom of that. It's currently in specialist storage in south Warwickshire since Oct sat with £1m Ferrari's and McLarens where they start and run every month. I am selling as a project, the main woe is the fact I really wanted to save this car but now cannot , I also paid £10k for it (invoice available) and I'm going to take a hell of a hit. It's tax and MOT exempt and £110 to insure including breakdown! So I'll start at £5000 but open to offers including possible PX on a bike.
