Most cars have early problems, but the Stag problems have in my view extended its life because people liked them and knew that it was a good car but needed further development and it was sorted out by a loyal group of car enthusiasts and that, s why so many are still around.

British Leyland, quality and reliability aren't words that naturally accompany each other.
Stag was a great concept poorly executed. Today a good one with its problems sorted is a lovely old car to own.

The bonnet lifts up when u put the power down ! My Alfa Gtv v6 really does lift up when u put the power down !!

Had one TAY 530N beautiful car sounded fantastic but unfortunately an utter pile of temperamental rubbish that cost a fortune, driving a car that you think is going to let go at any minute is bad

[conanhayle]

had one for 25 years very modified, , standard stag is crap

[conanhayle]

why are you asking Women ??? they are only interested in their grandchildren and handbags

...a good car that needed development? Sounds like the usual from BL, another fail.

Being a seventies car problems of rust as well as triumph being part British Leyland meant shit quality and of course the triumph v8 over heated when they could have used the more reliable rover 3.5 litre v8 thank goodness they don't make them like that anymore.
