    That's not a Stag. Looks like a 2000 MkII or 2500. I had both, but not in estate form. (loved my 2500TC)

    Stag was slightly shorter and two door.

    In the early 70s my girlfriend's dad had a 2500TC. I thought it looked pretty cool. He was in a high up job with British Leyland, so probably a company car. Her mum had a Triumph Toledo.

    had a pal with a Toledo, his first car, bought it off some old geezer, low mileage and mint since it was always garaged and looked after.

    Lots of character but slower than a milk float.

    I had the Rover P6 V8 too, it may have been slightly quicker but drove like a bus compared to the Triumph.

    i'd agree re handling, but the 2200 was quick; the 3500 was silly. dad had every rover made i guess around the late 50's/60's/70's. tho his fav was probably the super snipe. a beautiful interior in its day, with those bench leather seats and wood dash. so british lol.. he wouldnt but german after fighting them in war right up to his early death, he had this total dislike

    My old boss once tried to burn me off from the lights with his V8 Rover. I was on my bike. He failed dismally. When I got to work I got a bollocking for riding like a nutter.

    Just arrived. New vacuum brake bleeding set! Not tried one before, but If it's good enough for Edd China it's probably OK .



    The car went through the MOT with spongy brakes and four workshops have looked at it and not sorted things. I'm pretty sure there's a bit of air in the ABS pump, so that will require a bit of 'creative' bleeding, we'll see.
