Dear Customer,
Theseinstructions are now offered free of charge,and are provided as information only. They
cover the Jaguarbuild for the Mk2 Pilgrim Sumo, but also form the main part of the
instructions for building the Jaguarbasedmodel using the Mk3 Pilgrim Sumo Chassis.
A large number of people have built cars from PILGRIM kits and would
testify that they are as much fun to build as they are to drive when finished.
Yours sincerely,
D. TANNER. BSc
