The Stag is also far better than the Spitfire mind you Brit cars always beakdown
That's the problem - it ran, but it needed a little bit of work. I checked, and the chassis itself was rust free, but there's almost absolutely no way to get parts out here. The top was in dire need of replacement, and it was quite weathered to the point if needing some work to the interior. It was just going to cost too much to be properly presentable.

Nobody out here wants one - parts are impossible to find and I didn't feel like driving it 6 hours at it's paltry 72mph (or thereabouts) to try to turn a one, two grand profit - so I let it go.
