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

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
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

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....

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.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
