The red car with the paper mache tail was the Mk1 Mrs JoJo replica. I had it rebodied with an aluminium Ulsteroid body and it is now owned by a pal who uses it for VSCC trials. The red body was sold, put on a rolling chassis and is now residing in Germany. It is campaigned in prestigious 'Oldtimer' events and has been fitted with leather satchels either side of the scuttle.
The present Mk2 Mrs JoJo replica is altogether different, having a modified chassis with twin rear X-members and parallel rear springs, all as the original Mrs JoJo.
If anyone is interested in making a Mk3 Mrs JoJo replica, I have a duplicate set of rear X-members and chassis outriggers which I am unlikely to need. At the end of the day, how many Mrs JoJo replicas does a man need?
The original Mrs JoJo was superbly restored by the Way family in Sussex and will no doubt be at Moreton in Marsh.
