Triumph Stag
Bryanj:
Last i heard there was a firm doing lots of Stag bits including better rads and pumps, if upgraded AND looked after can be a decent motor, if not an utter nightmare

Rather like a TR6 meself. Bit shorter but sportier looking and had a great sound track. Edd China (the only man allergic to copper grease on old bolts) and his Gimp, (the fat bloke whos face annoys me) did one on Wheeler Bodgers which I thought was lovely.
My brother got dropped off at the church in a 'T' bar white Trumpet Stag V8 when it arrived it droppoed its guts right in front of the church when they pulled when it over heated..... Briliant;D
Told him not to bother ;D
My mates Dad picked him and his new 'Doris' up after the service in a white Ford Galaxy rag top.........It was about 30' long and had to do a 6 point turn in the car park. Epic ;D ;D :-X;D a right circus! ;D
MX5's are a right hoot to drive, proper little fun car that really handles with the right tyres on, they're not bad out of the box either. Had a scruffy one one year for a bit of fun in the summer, it was brilliant, we went everywhere in it with absolutely no issues at all. Good shout Ted, and they're cheap too which plays to my superior genetic, Northern tendancies! ;)
Laverda Dave:
Lovely cars Stags. All the issues are now sorted, you can buy a bigger rad that will fit straight in to cure the overheating. I think Tony Hart does a lot of uprated parts for them so no problems there either.
They are a lot better than a Spitfire (I've had four of those) although they don't have the ultimate style of a TR4 or 5 but they are a lot cheaper and they are genuine four seaters unlike a TR.
Jeremy Clarkson did a review of them a good few years ago on Top Gear, here's a link:

Like a lot of others we had a MX5 (Mk 3) great, great cars, I would have another tomorrow if the wife hadn't suffered a slipped disc so unable to drive one now.
