short wheelbase jago????????

is there such thing as a shorter wheelbase jago?? seen one advertised on ebay and never heard of one before!!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

God, if they get any shorter just think of the turning circle!!

the red one on ebay - looks like an old kit flat bonnet old "jeep" front wings anglia? or early escort maybe
the anglia ones seemed to have the front wheels set further back
so maybe that causes wheelbase to be shorter?

We looked at a very early one which was for spares/ repairs/ bonfire, and it was shorter, a bit of room inthe back for a dog but not for swinging any cats about. We tookoffthe back lights which went to a point on the top which may be a clue to donor vehicle ? Anglia
Might have some pics somewhere if I hunt around

Just had a look at it - Item number: 4552324221

I don't think its 'short wheelbase', just looks that way with the bigger wheels, taller hood & wider back arches.

Its an early model for sure & says its Mk2 based although the instruments are Mk1 Escort - a bitsa methinks.

All in all though its one of the best early Geeps i've seen. The blue one up in Scotland looks like a minter as well. A good week for Ebay.

I tried the "S" reg'd red one too Dave and got nowhere , thought it might be useful to me. The other "short" red one if I remember rightly is black on system and hasnt been taxed for a while.....

I fancied the Colwyn Bay rolling shell , its the famous Rhyll one back to haunt us ( Swizz sent me details last night) but it had already gone on a buy-it-now @ £250 when I looked this morning...!

I always assumed the Anglia-based kits used the same length shell , I know the wheelbase is shorter , only time will tell

SWB?....live and learn don't you. I notice the petrol filler/cap is somewhere different.
