Yes Richard, the Jarc rolling chassis still survives, it is currently hiding in one of our sheds at the farm. The same chassis was used later on the Astra Van (I hasten to add micro van) and then after that on the Gill Getabout a little saloon car. There are two Astra vans on the Register, one which is in very poor condition is in the hands of Tony M the other one which has been restored has changed hands several times in recent years lastly in an auction, sadly none of the successive owners have notified us where it is. Alastair has many vehicles on the Register now marked owner unknown.
Once a vehicle is on the Register it is there for its life span and successive owners are supposed to let us know when it changes hands but they so often fail to do so and we lose trace of the vehicle. The whole idea when I set up the Register 30 odd years ago, was to keep track of the unusual vehicles to make sure they didn't get destroyed because no one knew what they were. There was no ulterior motive, we just wanted to make sure they were preserved and cared for and to build up a picture about each marque. You fellow followers of the this Forum can help us by being our eyes and ears, should you see, hear of or acquire any unusual microcar please, please let Alastair know with as much detail as possible, then may be we can trace some of the cars that have dropped under the radar or even find some as yet unknown gem that is waiting to be cherished. If you enjoy and are interested in the preservation of these unusual little beasts please, please help us keep the Register updated Jean
