I built and is still in my garage a Triumph Stag.

Nothing too wild but not many people modify them.

complete rewire with Link ECU and digital gauges.
But I am sniffing round a Mercedes r107 SL500 so it may not happen.

Run it with propylene glycol instead of the usual stuff to help cool it. We use in it RR Merlins (& my ZRX11), the temp drops 20deg

Have you had the Stag on a dyno?
Those R107 Mercs are climbing in price, get in quick!
I'm not exactly sure what but I'd like a classic car with electric motor installed.
There's loads of conversions on Youtube and although I like the idea of an electric car I don't fancy some of the tat the new ones have as standard.
Whisper it, but I actually quite like the electric E-Type with a digital dash.
The official Jag conversion puts a battery pack where the engine goes (using the same mounts) and an iPace motor where the transmission normally goes (same mounts again). They give you the original engine and transmission on a pallet.

Talking of Jags, Have you seen the retropower XJ coupe?
Lovely looking thing but they put an LS3 in it instead of staying Jag V12.
Harry Metcalfe of Harrys garage / Evo fame, has a v12 manual which is standard apart from suspension mods, its begging to be hot rodded IMO !
I'd love an XJC with a VR38DETT in it. Red, on slotmags.

A long time ago I had a Daimler Sov, Regency Red.
Now I've got more disposable cash and time, I wish I still had it.

Citron DS. Took one in part exchange years ago when they were worthless by today's standards. Loved the old barge!
I absolutely love the DS- its one of the cars I'd love to have and not change anything from standard spec.

The one I had was the one with self straightening steering and the funny little cotton reel speedo!

I had a toy car of that when I was a nipper. No idea why, but used to love it

An E Type would always be a straight 6 for me too.
Fitting a Jag saloon with a big American lump just feels wrong to me though! A lister V12 is going to be significantly more expensive sure, but its a Jag engine. Even a normal Jag V12 is gonna be a bit special though.
