Yes, the 'B finally went to a new home a month ago or so. I did not write a post up as I went away on holiday shortly after! For me anyway, it's almost an end of an era. However, the Sebring 'B has finally gone. As I started driving it, I did start to solve quite a few of the issues, and pretty much got handling to a level I was happy with. But I knew without a lot more cash and time I would never get it quite how I wanted. 10 years of driving, fixing, getting frustrated etc. was all good in one respect mind you, and I met quite a few people thanks to the car too (indeed, it helped in getting me to meet you loony lot ) . Still, the new owner should have the resources etc. to bring it up to scratch . Here are a few parting pics of the car: You thought I would have learned and not got another retro/project! I guess some things never change... Still, owning retros is a journey .

Sad to see that its gone as it was a great looking car, but at least you got another classic instead of having to buy a modern (shudder )

I still need one modern (I relied on 2 (well, 1 1/2 really!) before) with the insane amount of miles we do. Man, how long did you get to use that? Not long enough! You are right there. With an MOT I drove it for two years, in the lowered form probably a few months! Ah well, it was still good fun .

There is something about a V8 Burble I tell you, especially with these engines . It does indeed still have the Triumph V8 under the bonnet.

I still need to hear this this, love a stag V8! I will give you a ride in the 'metro' if you let me have a ride in the Staaaaaaag, its a fair swap hehe! Saying that, the B did sound good with that exhaust, and rode really well on the wheels as well!

Bloke in the pub told me he'd read on t'internet that Triumph V8s are rubbish. I think you should save yourself all the bother and let me take it off your hands... ;D

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

It sounds like you had a grand time with it, and it doesn't sound like you're parting on bad terms either. Hope it's gone to a good home. Here's to the Stag!
