Great little runabout. And great little engine. Have fun with it and have a good one 🙌

For the parts availability yes. But the v8 has a better sound for the car imo. Have a good one 🙌

The triumph 3.0 v8 is good enough with the correct maintenance.. mine never goes beyond halfway on the temp gauge. As much as I love the rover v8 engine soon as you put one into a stag you’ve ruined it. Needs to stay as a TV8 plus it’s one of the best sounding v8s around!

Thanks for the comment man. And your car sounds like a gem now with all the upgrades you did. Enjoy it mate and have a good one 🙌

Got a short with just the lovely rumble of the V8 and lots of times in the video as well

That is also subjective 😉

Good question. I don't know but if you want a cool little off road car I would suggest a suzuki jimny

@@dutchcarguys TY FOR YOUR ADVICE .. BUT ALREADY HAVE THE IGNIS AND ANOTHER 2 BAD CARS.. I WILL TRY TO SELL THEM ! AND MAKE IT BACK TO '''OLD VOLVO '' I LIVE IN ROMANIA AND I CANT FIND A MECHANIC TO FIX THE IGNIS TRANSMISION .... , I WAS ASKING ABOUT TIERS TO TRY TO SELL THE CAR ! TY

Thanks for the comment💪. We will try to make more reviews in our way and style. If you have the chance try one. Great cars if you keep up the maintenance. Have a good one 🙌

Thanks 🙌. We loved our time with the stag. Have a good one.

Thanks for the comment . We loved the stag, the styling ,the v8 and the ride. And the name ,you can drive a jaaaaggg but the brits also have the staaaggg. Have a good one and lots of lovely miles in your stag🙌

Thanks for the comment man. We will keep this in mind next time we do a small practical car. Have a good one 🙌

Thanks for the comment. We also love a good stag. Have a good one🙌

That's what the ignis stands for 🫡 Have a good one mate 🫶💪

If you watch our video on the car there is better sounds of the car and it was raining buckets that day so there were street tires on it. Have a good one.

This one is sorted. So quite reliable. But for parts and stuff yea better have a rover in the front. Have a good one 🙌👍

Thank you. And about the wheels I didn't know they were not a mini wheel but still In the name😅. Have a good one💪

Thanks man. We need to drive a 4.0 sometime. Have fun adventures in yours enjoy. Have a good one 💪

Thank you! We love to be able to tell/show you the story. The overall ambience off the weekend and how welcomint everyone was, was amazing. So we can imagine it is a nice event to work at. ❤️

It's a hardtop on paper and I believe the owners also have one laying around. But if you search for the plates you'll find the car is registered as a hardtop.

@@dutchcarguys you just said that your reviews priortize being in line with the literature/documents over what you actually experience. Sorry guys, I can't trust your "reviews" to be accurrate.

Thank you vitaliy 🙌

Thank you. And it is a awsome car when sorted . Have a good one 🙌

Yea it's lived a hard life but getting some attention now. Have a good one 🙌

Especially made for you this time. But we like it as well. If there is space to hang a camera we will do it mate. Have a good one 🙌

@@dutchcarguys Ho great, thank you very much! It's very informative for the car and for the driver's skills. ;)

Thanks for the info man. And yea mini cooper rims on it. Have a good one 🙌

Spen King, and other guys who worked at Rover/Triumph/BL have said that they wouldn't have produced enough Rover V8s and Triumph already had this well on the way, it didn't occur to them to not use it. - and it's not a bad engine - more revvy / sporty characteristic as standard. Just needed the right coolant and a header tank.

I also would trow away the router for a alfa😜

It has a set of holey carbs on it man And the steering wheel I need to check with the owners. But it is a nice example of a stag man body is original engine been sorted as well as the rest. Thanks for your comment man. Have a good one 💪

Oef that's a tough one man. Keep up with the maintenance so it doesn't break down with her 😜 And for you sir enjoy the nice car. Have a good one mate🙌

@@dutchcarguys Haha thank you sir!

The music is a style choice we made. We are considering also recording the engine and exhaust while we drive but that involves a lot of cables to get out of the view. The sound from the car on the mics we wear isn't that good for engine sounds. But thanks for the feedback! ❤️ We try to make our productions as good as we can, but still make it doable next to our fulltime jobs. As one thing becomes normal to us we add more into the proces. The making of an episode at this point totals at about 40 hours. So slowly more engine sounds will appear in our video's. As fulltime television audio engineer it's good or nothing for me 🫠

@@dutchcarguys shall look forward to professional audio engineer quality of engine sounds - I think u will be surprised how many more supporters u will attract with that advantage u possess :) Kick off with some all time greats such as tvr Rv8s and Stag - when available, cant really go wrong with a Dino 246GTS :) Suggest u mix three audio channels: induction, exhaust (not artificially too close) and ambient cabin being the prominent main channel :)

For a 20 year old engine it's a gem. Have a good one 🙌

@@dutchcarguys Yep. My Citroen AX sport with a 1.3 on twin carbs only produces 10hp more as standard 🤙 and probably not as economical...

Bro you have one of my dream cars a ax sport freaking gem nowadays. Have loads of fun with it for us as well man. 🙌💪

@@dutchcarguys will do mate once I get a new dashboard in!

Hey. Thanks for the comment. Cool that the suzuki's only came in for maintenance and the rest for repairs. Shows the knowhow of suzuki and other Japanese brands. Have a good one 🙌

Haha we wish we knew him man. Thanks for the sub Have a good one 🙌

Would like to have a go in one of those. There quit capable off road right? Have a good one🙌

We would love to try a newer one. Small cars for the winn. Have a good one man🙌

@@dutchcarguys - Thanks.

Luckily it's me and not the car🤔🥲

Same here to mutch sensors and gubbins so it feels that your not in charge when driving. Like the tygo with its lane keep assist that wants to trow you of the road if there is no markings. Love my little Japan nugget. And we need to do a review of a jimny. Have a good one man🙌👍

I totally agree. those gadgets drive me nuts. Only thing i won't do without is the cruisecontrol, non adaptive

My dad once run over a deer in his 2018 BMW, no damage, but some sort of pedestrian protection crap activated unnecessarily. It cost 2.5k euros to get it fixed. And another 400 euro, half a day and a 300 km trip to the dealer to delete the warning light in the dashboard. It's not even a nice car, it's an eco box active tourer and repairing practically no damage costs more, than my car.

My bad,it was the slant 4 ofcourse but I had the dolomite in my head. And that supply issue with rover v8 I didn't know. Thanks for sharing the info and commenting. Have a good one 👍

That's a lot of sand in a place you don't want it. Thanks for your additional information man. Have a good day👍

The water pump is located no higher than other cars of the time - and certainly not at the highest point in the cooling system as per myth. What I can confirm is that if it leaks, it will lose just under 3 litres before running dry. As there was batch of incorrectly hardened water pump shafts, these have contributed to the cooling problems reputation to no end. Due to that there a many owners now that fit belt driven or electric water pumps. All well and nice, but these have issues of their own - one of which is that if one of those leaks, your engine will lose almost all coolant as the (electric) pump is located low down beside the engine. What is worse, losing 2.8 of the 10.5 litres, or almost all of it? Oh yes, the gearbox is indeed somewhat agricultural. It does not have a self centering system modern gearboxes are equipped with. You need to physically bring it over from 1-2 to 3-4, and not too fast.

Hey man thanks for the comment. If you look for one always check the engine if it had a rebuild the right way and if the cooling is upgraded. The transmission can be a bit of a handful if its the overdrive. But I would let a car you wanna buy have a once over by a specialist always a good thing to do with oldtimers. And the electrics ofcourse it's BL so lucas galore. Have a good day🙌

@@dutchcarguys today I brought a yellow stag home. It was a really nice 45 mimutes cruise on the motorway with 100 to 120 km/h without any problems. The little man on the left side was very happy, like his father. When we were at home he asked 1000 times, when we drive the yellow car again, it was so much fun. By the way, this ride was with the hardtop on, so I am very exciting about riding the car without the roof:-) wish you all allways a safe trip ...

Thanks! We totally agree, even Vincent who is not into old cars.

Yea the wheels are a good fit on the Jeep. Thanks for the comment man. Have a good one 🙌

Thanks!! This is the first video we used our new audio system in. You hear a microphone at the exhaust mixed with a microphone in the engine bay 🔥

@@dutchcarguys That works really well that mix! Who knew form the engine bay would sound that good! 😎 keep up the good work chaps

Thanks for your comment man. And now we need to try a 2000. Have a good day 🙌

@@dutchcarguys I forgot: when you were saying the gear shift was a bit weird... I had two Spitfires (also beautifully shaped by Michelotti :-) ). The first was 4 speed and no overdrive; gear shift was great. Second had overdrive and the shift was sloppy. I was told it was because it had extra long remote linkage to reach over the overdrive unit. Don't know whether that applies to the Stag... Bests, Tim
