Template:Infobox vehicles The Stafford is a four-door vintage luxury car in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Description
Design
The Stafford's front fascia and body design is based on the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, while its rear end seems to draw some inspirations from the Rover P6. The Stafford is notable for being significantly larger and wider than other sedans. It can be noted that driving the Stafford boosts CJ's sex appeal significantly, which makes it a car of choice to pick up girlfriends.
Performance
The car's performance is average-to-good. With average acceleration and a good top speed, the car is considerably speedy, however its heavy weight and rear-wheel-drive drivetrain may result in some significant oversteer, or even spin-outs when accelerating during a turn. Its height, combined with a wheelbase too narrow to compensate, makes the car somewhat unstable, and its durability is average.

Trivia

- It has a unique horn sound resembling an old train.
- "Stafford" is a name of British origin, most notably referring to the town of Stafford in England. It is thus fitting to assume that the name alludes to the British roots of Rolls-Royce, which the Stafford car bases itself on.
