Register colleague regarding a rather special vehicle picture that appeared in the December issue of the UK JDC December Magazine. Apparently the particular vehicle was ‘made’ by a previous JDCSA Register member. It had a cut down Mk1V, shortened & lowered & was displayed at a couple of local Jag Days during the 1970’s before going to Melbourne. “I later had a phone call from the SS Register asking the history of the car as the new owner was told it was a Factory one-off special”
