A beautiful Jamaican!! Finest & best body work & paint I've ever seen. And it really flooded my brain w/ nostalgic memories. In '68 I assembled a Jamaican kit on a VW chassis (dumb). There ws a lot of work fitting the doors, mounting the mustang hinges, & building hood hinges. But I got it running.
My youngest son began driving in the early 80's so I gave him the car. That year, I promised to have it professionally painted if he won the state wrestling championship. He did it so I had the car painted. But with a VW engine, we were going to replace it with a Porsche...but that never happened. We sold that car of the Langer car museum around '95.
Great job of fabricating & designing! Excellent pictures. Let me say, it's truly a fabulous car! It's the car that I always dreamed of but didn't make it happen. And I know you have a great time letting people guess what it is! It's something to really be proud of. I've been told that less than 10% of them ever got on the road. And I doubt any of those look this professional!

Bill,
Registration list shows you are "sans car" - PLEASE bring the Jamaican!
What a beautiful Jamaican! I always thought this was one of the handsomest kit cars out there and had bought a Healey-chassis Jamaican on eBay that ended badly. The kit cars back then were no where near as complete as today and it takes a great deal of skill and dedication to make one turn out right. Great job!
