Probably a daft idea but I've always had a hankering for a Triumph Stag but if I got one at the moment it would have to be as my daily driver and that means 10-12k miles per year and not garaged. I'm not afraid of doing mechanical jobs and regular maintenance but just wonder if this would be at all realistic.

The other point is that I wonder how I would get on going back in time with a car for this purpose, I've possibly been spoiled by the XK8 I've been using for the last 5 years but am not too worried about that I don't think.

I'd welcome any thoughts and particularly experiences from people.

Thanks for the replies, I maybe need to start looking at some. I drove one briefly once and did like it. In terms of maintenance and mechanical sympathy I don't have any concerns other than the time to do jobs myself - fortunately I have at least one other car so can cope with short off duty spells with my daily driver. I've driven and used plenty of older cars for many years so understand the principles, so good to know the Stag can take the use if I choose to go that route.
