Hi Gang,

Well, My brother was out this direction today and found the field of Jags and a Land Rover. Also found the old guy that owns them all. Gumpy old guy too, No way is anything for sale, no way, no how, now get off my land.
So, if your ever down in this location and want to call in about the jags....Don't, the reception is very frosty..

I'd be interested in a passenger side front wing if the price is right

Sorry to hear that but not at all surprised, people can be very strange they would sooner see them rot away than let someone get some use out of them. and the are normally grumpy old men.

On an aside to this thread, I came across an abandonded classic *dealers* / filling station in Drumconrath in Meath - old Citroen, Polski Fiat and a GM 75 years (1978!) sign all up in good nick.

However, while photographing it, the (former?) owner turned up, accused me of casing it out to rob it and demanded my name so he could call the police. Which he refused to do when I handed him my mobile to do it there and then... and he then followed me around the village for ten minutes. Only found out who he was by going in to an open petrol station down the road and asking.

So... if anyone wants to see an extremely well preserved 1980s dealers, theres one there, but beware of the old giffer. No particularly old cars around it but theres a 1980s van of some description inside it - with the madman there I couldn't get a proper look.

I've attached the only proper photo I managed to get as a result, I've obscured the reg of the owner... as you can see, its on a public road.
