Dasadrew's Delft Blue

After a few setbacks with core plugs blowing out; cylinder heads off; and a longish winter in the garage; it''s out and about now and using the most of the late October sun...

Lovely - blends well against the sand too!

If you get tired of the car Drew, I am sure the Speyer Technik Museum would love to have it on display.

Thanks for that nice remark Terry. You might laugh, but several years ago I was running out of garage space and there was a local Ford dealer in the village. I'd arranged with him that I could "display" my 1976 Escort RS in his showroom as an eye catcher and could give him a week's notice if I wanted to take it out and use it for whatever period. The arrangement never actually came to fruition as we moved house, but I think the concept would have been a neat win-win situation. Might struggle to find a Triumph dealer nowadays to do something similar with the Stag!

Actually Drew, a similar thing has happened to me, a local Bar owner asked me to park my Stag in front of his Bar so that it would attract more attention/custom.
Didn't offer me free drinks if I did so though!
Saw former Forum member Staggard's Stag drive past yesterday, so he must still be here on the Island, and although it is now a "metallic" blue colour, it looks quite similar to yours.
