Isn't that a bit inconvenient, having the accelerator under the bonnet?
Bit dodgy on the freeway!

I used to have a Stag - 6 cylinders with twin SUs. Absolute nightmare - usually only got 4 of the 6 cylinders firing reliably and always trying to balance the carbs. Was very comfortable though and the same sh!t brown as in the picture.

Maybe that was the problem - I always thought the Stag engine was two Dolomites siamesed.....making it a V8

That'll be the problem. Too often it ran like a dog.
