    Phil,
    You have a Jaguar history that is even more colorful than my own. How did you come to own so many? And were these in Budapest, or in GB, as your profile suggests? My first was a Schwinn (American bicycle company) Jaguar in 1957 that my dad bought from a police auction. Stolen, never claimed. Lighter, faster, sleeker than American bikes at the time, very Euro compared to the fat-tired sluggards of Montgomery Ward and Sears Roebuck. I've owned a few, but always as indulgences from the long-suffering spouse, not in any professional capacity. It was just because I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO BUY IT!

    Merry Christmas

    Pete
