Highlights
- Very well maintained Mk2
- Original factory white over blue colour scheme
- Thick history file of maintenance and improvements
- Regularly used and running and driving well
The Appeal
Owners love their Stags and, looking at this MK2, you can see why. No other 70s classic convertible, even the famous one from Germany, quite captures the same mix of character, soundtrack, practicality and comfort.
This car dials up the final point with its smooth automatic box, a feature that makes the Stag a very capable long distance road trip companion. Finished in white with a rare mid-blue cabin, it is a well kept car whose extensive history file attests to the care of its keepers. The engine bay is particularly well presented.
The car has been used regularly but sparingly and is said to be running and driving well. It has covered few miles since the last service and maintenance work. With the sun currently cracking the paving stones, is there a better way to enjoy the weather?
