a WW2 jeep...

Does anyone know if Jago still make these? Fancy one on a Suzuki SJ chassis with a zetec.. or Rover turbo??


PS. Can't afford a Willy's

Whats up Steve - does the MNR not have the ground clearance or axle articulation that you secretly crave?

I want a willys jeep too. Go to France every year for D-Day weekend and there is loads out there.

nothing up mate, just fancy a 4x4, Willy's comes as the No. 1 but the Jago is in the price range

One kit car for both ends of the spectrum!

Landrover would be better. More likely to not break and easier to get spares for.

If the Yanks had Land Rovers they would probs have colonated Mars by now. Why go for an antiquated willys type vehicle?

Ive got the chance of a series 1, cant convince myself to get it at the mo.

Jago gave up making the jeep some time ago, they sold the rights to somebody else. I did have the address but seem to have misplaced it. If you seriously wanted to know I could find out for you when I go past Jago's place. Cheers Ray

Thanks Simon, looked at all them on the bay but the tird one is the most atractive and TOO far way.

Landrover's not my cup of tea.. want something that resembles the Willy's. Seen a couple of Jago's on Suzuki chassis and they do look very usefull.

If I had the cash it would be Pattons Willy's but that aint going to happen....

Don't know if he still has it but Geoff (wilkingj) has /had one for sale

There's an original CJ5 Jeep Renegade on Autotrader for £5000, 1956 used by the Dutch army. A friend of mine had a Jeep Wrangler last year, it was the economical 4 litre version and was quite civilised after we fitted a hardtop to it You could get one for £2000 and use it as a toy.
