In an english country garden--Jags'-Iveco-Suzuki-Herald

[Guest]

 

The Jag's are to be chopped up-any one needing parts pm me for the owners contact details.

[brammy777]

That is impressive mould! Its amazing what you find.

[GJR 11L]

The state of those motors, especially the Jags, is both sad and strangely arousing.Surely those Suzuki things don't die? Wondering what led it to come to rest there.

Dead ECU.

[GJR 11L]

Yeah, that makes sense. Another sign of a throwaway society that no longer bodges stuff together to drag it from one set of MOT advisories to the next.

Too true.What's the story with this place?

[Station]

I'd love to get one of those Jags on the road, but not wash it and keep it green and drive into the Hilton in London (or some other posh hotel) and get the valet to drive it off, advising him to 'look after it'.

He uses the power plants and rear suspension set ups to buld custom trikes

I know what you mean about the Jags.The 3.6 litre Sov is a very early 3.6 with the black trim on the bootlid. They stopped putting that on some time in '87. There can't be many left.David

Imagine how crusty that Iveco must be? Cherry picker must be worth a few quid though.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Herald looks in reasonable condition.

[babydriver]

I would love that Herald for my rebuild, the rear end looks in better condition than the one I have. Infact I would have to rebuild that one from mine

[Captain Mainwaring]

Why did some of those Iveco vans have Ford badges on the grilles?

[Cavcraft]

Because Ford bought into Iveco. The Ford/Iveco Cargo (at least the 75E series onwards) were an Iveco with a Ford badge I believe, but some earlier (pre-'Euro') Ford Cargos had an Iveco badge. Assume because this was when they first got together?

[Captain Mainwaring]

Ah. For some reason I've always thought Iveco was under Fiat. I wondered why our 07 plate Daily at work hasn't fallen to bits yet.

[Cavcraft]

They are and it will!

[brammy777]

A bit of a shame Ford pulled out of the heavier Commercial market in the UK, although the Transcontinental and Cargo Artics werent as popular as they should have been sadly. Seems kind of odd that the Daily had a Ford badge on it, considering Ford hadnt stopped making vans, just the Lorries. I suppose it was to give some sort of unity to the range though.

The guy opened the boot - it was like new inside as it had been fully restored before a summers use saw it parked up.

I've been looking hard at the pics for this but I just can't see it!

Reference Iveco, this is what Wikipedia has to say;

 

Iveco is an Italian truck, bus, and diesel engine manufacturer, based in Turin, Italy. It is a subsidiary of the Fiat Group, and produces around 200,000 commercial vehicles and 460,000 diesel engines annually.

 

The company is dominated by Fiat Group, and was created on 1 January 1975 by Fiat manager and mechanical engineer Bruno Beccaria (1915–2001) through the merger of five companies operating in Italy, France and Germany; Fiat Veicoli Industriali (located in Turin), OM (Brescia), Lancia Veicoli Speciali (Bolzano), Unic (Trappes) and Magirus (Ulm).

 

In 1990, Iveco acquired 60% of ENASA, a leading truck manufacturer and makers of Pegaso brand of commercial vehicles in Spain. This was an important step in the history of Iveco since it became a local brand in all the leading European markets. With this acquisition, Iveco expanded its manufacturing locations to Barcelona, Valladolid and Madrid in Spain.

 

In its early years, the company focused on rationalizing, integrating and optimizing the various manufacturing and commercial structures that had been independent until then, and the first centralized functional structure emerged. From a marketing viewpoint, these years saw the launch of the Daily (1978), the Turbo (1981) and the Turbostar (1984), three vehicles that symbolized Iveco's entrepreneurial success in Europe. In 1986 Ford's European commercial vehicle operation became part of the brand.
