Mornin Richy, If the price and condition are right, I would say go for it. Summer is still far enough to make prices take that into consideration. Fun, I am sure it will be enough fun to justify it. That all said. I hope someone here knows more than me, and can point you in the right direction. |

I've had two, both with 1600 xflows I'm em, 90mph is gonna be maximum speed, but they are quite light so handle and accelerate all right. My first one was a really early one, based on an Anglia rather than an escort and it looked like a proper willys, the later oned have arch extensions and longer front wings. Always great fun, make sure the chassis isnt rusty, and electrics can be iffy, but both are easy to fix.

Have a look at my friends Jago, there are some pics of the chassis, body off etc....Not amazing photos, but it should give you an idea? sandrcars.freeservers.com/page22.htmlHe's also got a video (slideshow) which has a lot more images. Just for fun, check out the rest of his site to see some of the CRAZY stuff he does with cars....  ;D |

Aren't they actually called Jago Geeps? edit:  I guess so, unless Jago printed their own brochure wrong. |

They had to change the name to Geep to avoid legal action. Funnily enough though, Dutton never sued Ford for the use of the name "Sierra"!
I seem to recall that very early Jago Jeeps/Geeps were also available using the Morris Minor as a donor.

Ford tried to claim sole rights to the Sierra name, Dutton weren't happy, lots of legal wrangling ensued. The judge eventually decided that both manufacturers could call their products Sierra, on the stance that kit cars and mass-produced cars weren't the same thing. Dutton got lots of publicity and their costs paid. ;D |

I was going o say they were made in Chichester as we had a caraven down that way when i was younger and there was always an orange/yellow shell on the roof of their building just to the side of the main road.
Their poster advertising up there states this, although no idea if they are still there, when i past it 2 weeks ago the shell was no longer there so i have no idea.

Magnumpi, the shell disappeared some time last year I think. I definitely remember seeing it there in the last couple of years  |
