1950 JAG roadster, a repost: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=17298

SACO · December 06, 2014, 11:05:25 AM

Perhaps a JAG ,but the base of the car is not Ford !
Locked for Wendax !

Wendax · December 06, 2014, 12:14:36 PM

At least one JAG was MG-based.

SACO · December 07, 2014, 02:43:22 AM

And not MG-based !

SACO · December 08, 2014, 06:48:26 AM

Sorry but unlocked !

nicanary · December 08, 2014, 07:18:08 AM

One JAG was Coventry-Climax powered, but I wouldn't have thought this was that one. Is it?

Paul Jaray · December 08, 2014, 03:44:09 PM

V8 3600cc is what Georgano says...

Wendax · December 08, 2014, 03:46:56 PM

That is the Ford V8 engine of the repost mentioned above.

Paul Jaray · December 08, 2014, 04:07:21 PM

Yes, in Georgano's it's reported Ford V8.
I think this is what your source claims too:

Paul Jaray · December 08, 2014, 04:12:06 PM

Hmmm...it's not the same pic!

I've just found reference to a car built by John Griffiths which had a supercharged Riley engine (presumably 1100cc or 1500cc). Can this be the answer?

SACO · December 11, 2014, 02:16:28 AM

Not a car built by John Griffiths !

D-type · December 11, 2014, 03:49:39 AM

Did the JAG have a Buckler tubular chassis?

John A. Griffiths was the owner and builder of J.A.G. cars. You have me confused

Anyway - you say it's not Ford V8 or 10hp engined, nor MG, Coventry-Climax or Riley engined. I cannot find any reference to JAG cars which were fitted with anything else.

I therefore assume that this particular car has been re-engined at a later date, and that means almost anything could be under the bonnet. Is it a Mercury (aka Ford) engine?

SACO · December 11, 2014, 01:54:17 PM

Sorry ! it's a JAG body on a surprising chassis !(but not Buckler !)

nicanary · December 11, 2014, 02:42:05 PM

RGS Atalanta chassis?

SACO · December 11, 2014, 03:48:56 PM

Not RGS Atalanta chassis !

nicanary · December 11, 2014, 04:10:48 PM

The wheels make me think this car is a fairly mundane car - is it a mass-produced British family saloon?

oko94 · December 12, 2014, 03:20:21 AM

Frazer Nash ?

SACO · December 12, 2014, 05:13:03 AM

Not a mundane car and not a Frazer Nash !

nicanary · December 12, 2014, 05:13:56 AM

Lea-Francis?

SACO · December 12, 2014, 07:52:24 AM

Not Lea-Francis !
