I'm not sure which is the most sacrilegious -sawing up the Moggy or defacing the Jag :) Title: Re: Bike trailer, who needs them Post by: Stix on March 31, 2018, 02:57:56 PM The jag. You can buy all the parts for a traveller brand new but the jags are getting really rare.

Title: Re: Bike trailer, who needs them Post by: Manky Monkey on April 01, 2018, 10:04:53 PM I used to do some casual work on the afternoons after my Postal round for a neighbour who restored Jags. There were some beautiful cars that passed through his workshop.
