Stag is Home

Just got back from Faversham with the Stag, had to wait until I got back to take pictures as it was very foggy over there, was held up for 30 minutes on the M2 - passed 3 nose to tail accidents, know just how they feel!


The finish on the car is superb, I have to hand it to the guys at Faversham Classics, they certainly know their Stags - I recommend anyone that needs some work done on their Stags to consider using them, whether it is bodywork or mechanical, and their rates are resonable too.

Gave the car a good run back on the M2 (Fog had lifted), performed brilliantly - inside the speed limit of course, at least thats what the speedo said, I think it under reads by about 10mph!

Engine seems much quieter - were the timing chains that bad before? Temperature stayed spot on between quarter and half, but then it has had a new radiator to replace last years new one! Viscous coupling was new last year as well.

Stag twitch seems to have all but dissapeared although only one driveshaft has been replaced, there is some steering vibration at 60+ at the moment which was not there before the accident, I put this down to wheel imbalance, will get that checked in the near future when my funds have recovered!

Just need to give her a couple of coats of polish to protect the new paint (advised by Kevin), her next real outing will be on the Historic Counties Run with CT
