1988 Jay Prototype

Chassis number: SALLJGBF8FA337614

Registration number: C60 JKG

Engine type: 2.5 Turbo Diesel

Gearbox type: 5 Speed

Vehicle spec:
This Jay Prototype was built in May 1988 and registered with a number that pre-dates this which was a deliberate ploy to help disguise the car. 

In late 1988 it was sent to Canada for cold climate trials, and after mileage tests it was used as a mule for Camel Trophy rigging and training, hence the full roll cage and winch.

The body damage was caused through many hours of off-road driver training at Eastnor Castle. At one point the vehicle was left submerged for three days in a muddy hole with water up to the waistline to test for water ingress into mechanical components. Some must have got in, because the ash trays are still filled with silt!

The years of abuse have taken their toll and it is unlikely the vehicle will ever be registered again for use on the road.
