Hi Guys can anyone tell me the history behind this .....
I have just bought (off ebay where else!) a model of a Jago Geep its a plinth mounted 1/43? scale Willys in red with JAGO below the screen frame and carries a label stating its one of 30 produced as competition prizes by Jago Automotive.
Hoping to have my own model Geep ready for Stoneleigh , just a rough first attempt based on a rusty Tonka flat fender Willys , bit of toy automotive re-cycling , but all in the spirit of the full sized Geep!
What I really wanted was the £200 Tamiya R/C one to modify but Santa didnt bring it.....!

The actual die cast model it is based on looks like it is either a Solido or Norev Army Jeep from France hence the LHD.
If they had based it on a US Mail Jeep model they would have had 2WD and RHD.
Technically speaking they should have started by taking a junior hacksaw to a Dinky or Corgi Mark 1 Escort model.....!
There is no makers name underneath the actual model just a few serial numbers , under the display case it says K H Norton Leicester and " THIS MODEL IS NOT A TOY It has been modified and repainted as a limited issue Code 3 collectors item"
Whatever Code 3 means........?
