At the risk of being flamed for who knows what, here's a three year history
of my '73 Stag with the '74 TR6 engine. I provide this info to simply give
one person's real experience. Let me add that I continue to love my car
and feel it is a great bargain, especially compared to new car prices. I
hope to keep it for many years to come. Pictures available at.....
