A worthy project.the blue jags are one of my favorite middleweights. I have a sweet 60 in blue.

I haven't worked up the courage yet to open the tank...

With a little work you’re bike will clean up real nice. Great find I like the blue ones. Here’s mine before and after. View attachment 898713View attachment 898714

You still got a good deal for $325. At least 95% of the parts are there. Should clean up quite nicely.
I don't know about you, but I hate it when the Estate Sales companies do their homework on items.

I was just going through some of my old photos, remembering I might have had another Jaguar...and I was right. It was in great shape, but missing all the good stuff when I got it. Racks, tank and headlight were missing but it had the 2-speed kickback.

I agree. If it were just a Garage Sale, I probably could have gotten it for less than $100.

This is really going to be a project. I haven't put this much work into a bike in quite a while, but still, I'm having fun. The inside of the tank is pretty much what I had expected, yet the horn looks to be in really nice shape. At some point I'll test it, but to much else to do on it.

I got the 3-speed to be free and moving on the hub (Dated January of 1961), so that's a milestone. One of the spokes is broken and all the others are loose, so more fun.

BTW...the frame date is: K060907...in case any of you kind souls out there wants to give me a date on it, which I'm sure will come close to the Sturmey-Archer hub date.

So, it's all dismantled, so let the fun begin!!!

and now let the games begin!
