V8
The Stag is a lovely looking car of its type. It could have been a great success but never sold well. Poor design, poor build quality, lack of development money and a questionable choice of engine all contributed to it's lack of sales. If it had been better built and there had been sufficient Rover V8 engines it could have been a very good car, a disappointment like so many other British cars of that period. Pity.

I followed a beautifully restored Stag for a few miles the other day and wondered what engine they had originally. Your listing mentions a V8 but IIRC whatever V8 it was, was an utter turkey and a popular/easy replacement back in the day was the Wankel rotary engine.
What V8 was fitted to the Stag originally, given it was not the Rover? Just curious...
