[doc] Re: Triumph Stag

["Robin Simpson" <rps@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Claire

I've been searching for information for a while and think i've got 
most of it covered - overheating, stretched timing chains, blown 
headgaskets and lots and lots and lots of rot seem to be the order of 
the day - she looks and sounds proper from what I can see, no rot, a 
virtually full service history from day 1 and a fantastic V8 burble - 
maybe i'll fit a V8 in the Delorean !!!

Cheers

Robin
