The Foo Stag

From the archive. First published on the old Stag Owners Website in February 2016. Prices, phone numbers and suppliers may have changed since.

Last night I found time to watch Spiro Ellul's "Foo Stag" video on YouTube. It runs about four minutes and is pretty good. I've driven this car in anger and it goes very nicely, with a great exhaust note. It has a BMW rear end.

Cheers, Graeme

From Spiro Ellul:

I'm the owner of the Foo Stag. My car is highly modified, beautiful, bastardised, improved, ruined, an abomination, brilliant and fast, depending on each person's point of view, and everyone is allowed a point of view with no offence taken. I also personally cringe at some of the modifications that become popular among Stag owners. That's not right or wrong, just my view, and others can do as they please with their cars.

When time and money permit, I'll restore another Stag I have, which is in a terrible state as we speak, and that one will be as original as possible, as it left the factory. There's no right or wrong, and we can all do as we please, as long as we respect others who do as they please.

We're both lucky and unlucky that our cars aren't worth millions. The debate would be on another scale altogether.
