Old Janner Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Good evening. This my first rather nervous post. I thought that you all may find another picture of an early Jaguar of interest. I took this photo in 1971 at Foxton on my very first canal trip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the seller is thinking something more modern on that residential mooring will be more desirable, and if so will be more marketable and possibly have a greater value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its one of the less attractive Bantocks with one end cut off. The new stern looks very unusual and rather high quality. I quite like it. The bollards are unusual (more like bollards than dollies) and remind me of Doug Moore boats but I don't know if he did conversions. Also a bit similar to northern barges so could have been converted by someone who usually did barges. Don't know what engine is in there (if any) but the boat list says 2hp which may mean 20hp which could be interesting. Does seem cheap.

Ltd. boat from the cabin proportions. The usual suspects around this time would be ACHILLES or PICTOR, but the cabin paintwork is making me think VIRGINIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
