KIT CAR SPOTLIGHT - JACKAL BY MINION

Thumbnail Thumbnail Thumbnail Thumbnail Thumbnail Thumbnail Thumbnail

Available: 1982 to 1987

Brief history of car:

The Minion Jackal was produced as a vintage style car in a hard top style (which could be removed) or full roadster. Both versions had fully opening doors and 2+2 configuration.

Early examples were based on Vauxhall Viva mechanicals, later changed to Ford Cortina for ease of access to spare parts.

Good quality kit on a ladderframe chassis but didn't quite catch the kit buyers imagination like other vintage cars of the time did (Marlin and Merlin) Subsequently passed through several manufacturers hands, Imperial probably being the one people would of heard of.
