Jordan prepared Historic for sale …….dread to think how much for
Some interesting photos of how its prepared….does decription mean its “ pre 66” rather than “ AppK” ?

That was a very tidy (Almond Green) Pyro prepared car when it sold at the NEC a couple of years ago so it must have cost a fortune to rebuild it to current spec. I wonder if it’s going to make way for the latest spec cage or whether the Jordan’s will concentrate on Mini 7s.

Just came across this link, original advert for the Pyro mini, maybe the pre auction advert ?
There does seem to be a surprising amount changes and work made by the Jordans…..considering how much it cost in the first place
Would be pleased with either the before or after

The Jordan car is not the 3 in one car in the old ad.
That was Andy Hacks, now owned by Jonny Kent.
The Jordan car was Dan Wheelers originally.

I know the fitted engine was well of the pace on the rollers and a quick strip didn’t show obviously what was wrong with it, so Dave at SH built a brand new one. Met the Jordan’s when they dropped it off there after the car was finished for running the engine on the rollers, genuinely nice people, time to show me round the car, take pics etc.

Here's a well made video from the Goodwood people about the Jordans that was posted up on the Youtube a few days ago. Worth a watch.
