However, if I picked another Triumph or say an MG to work on, which
model would involve the least amount of investment, and least amount of
lose?
The car needing the least amount of investment and the least amount to lose
would be the fully restored one bought a couple of years after the restoration
was completed for a fraction of the cost of restoration.
As for your Stag, compare it to buying say a new Honda Civic, cost
approximately $20,000 new and in 7 years worth maybe $2000? Or your stag,
when you
put $20,000 into it and in 7 years worth maybe...more than $2000 I bet.
Worst case, you break even..

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg
carburetors in his vintage Triumph, highly functional yet pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced
hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and
adjusted as
described in chapter seven of the shop manual.
