- The Stag is a wonderful car... when in proper shape. Things that suck about the Stag: Waterpump leaks, head gasket failures, finding parts, electrical gremlins related to power windows and other pow

- Gee, Carl, kinda hard to argue with the price, eh?! I always thought the Stag was a great-looking car and it's on my list of coveted cars. Not knowing anything about the restoration costs involved or

- The Stag wasn't significantly faster than the stock MGC, although you will see figures varying by a second or so in the 0-60 (usually 9.5 to 10.5 range for both). Neither was quite as fast as an MGA
