Jago Geep

[LowStandards]

I pick this little beauty up tomorrow

I have something very very special planned for it, but you'll have to wait and see...








I guarantee it will not be your average Jeep replica

Unless someone has been swapping hardtops, It's not the one I owned about 25 years ago..

EDIT: just checked and my old one hasn't been taxed since 1993 (which is probably when I sold it!).

[LowStandards]

Its not the car you owned? Fair assumption I guess ;p

[pistonpopper]

I always wanted to get one of these and build a life sized replica of this Matchbox car:-



Can't wait to see where you go with this mate... watching with interest!

[Phil H]

Mine had somewhat larger wheels, a Capri axle and the hardtop window cutouts were larger (plus the windows held in with nylon screws instead of a rubber seal.

It was yellow though!

you mean actual suspension that doesn't eat its self

from your sig and 'filtered' pic's it does look like it is going to be quite something special

I haven't seen a Jago Jeep for about 20 years. When I was about 20 I got brochures from Jago, Dutton and Marlin hoping that I would build one of their products. It never happened of course but I did get to own a Marlin Roadster a few years ago. I still would like a Jago though. Wish I'd kept those brochures as there was a cracker picture in it of a red Jeep screeching round a tight corner with one wheel wagging in the air. I'll be watching this thread with interest.

Looks like it's going to be interesting. Really fun, solid little tool. A mate had one years ago.
I didn't know you had one Mr. Howard?

[luckygti]

Now that I like the look of. Bookmarked coz if it looks anything like your altered images it will be a very cool machine.



No pressure then

[Anglia68]

Great idea for a build and I will be watching your progress with interest.

[bazzateer]

Guy I know learnt his fibreglassing trade skills on Jagos, I think his uncle worked there or owned the company or something........

[TerraRoot]

Mines lowest, I win!

[grizz]

I think radical builds of this sort are big in the Phillipines..... But I could be wrong.

Bookmarked.

[LowStandards]

Apologies for the complete lack of, err, well anything. I moved house, its needs work, it was xmas etc you know the crack!
