That looks SO nice! Good score. Their is a guy on ebay selling the reflector rack you have. Yours looks streighter and nicer 
Hi all had some time to work on the jaguar today. all ways amazes me what a soap pad hot water and a little elbo grease an new tires can do. most of the chrome came out ok, paint is shot though. but i knew that from the start. i will post pics tomorrow.
Hi all here are some pics after a quick once over with a soap pad and water. it need to be torn down compleatley and painter and rechromed but it is a good foundation for a restore.
ok a little about this bike it is a 1962 jaguar 4 with s7 rims and a bendx 2 speed rear hub with 3 red stripes which is corect for this year.
so do i restore it or put a motor on it Hummm?

That is gonna be a sweet ride. Cruiser frame with front suspension and disc brake! thats ideal! good find!
Yes, I think it would be good to list the Jag on ebay. Let it find a home with someone to restore it. And let it finance the motor bike build. With decals and paint you can make the second one into a generation 2 Jaguar. What year is the second one?
