do you know any history of JPU 560C

[alfaandy]

my dad owned JPU 560C or JPU 506C when it was nearly new. Car was A bracket model with ali doors etc. Believe car sold to guy in Wales around 67/68. Car had high ratio gearbox and somehow he managed to tow a caravan and took the whole family to Spain for holiday in it! If you know any of the history would love to hear from you.

The car is not recognised on the DVLA database and so was probably scrapped, exported or turned into a race car before 'go-live' in 1983 and therefore not recorded.

It could be tucked up in a barn somewhere, of course, unloved, undiscovered and lonely.

I found it on the DVLA website, searching for the combination of JPU560C and Ford.
1964 car, registered 11-1-1965.
Date of liability is 1-4-2013 which suggests it is alive and well.
The car was mentioned in the Autumn 1998 Quarterbumper as being present at the Nats at Coombe Abbey that year. No name of the owner at that time mentioned though.

Last heard of in 2004, residing in Middlesex, I think it might have been sold, but I don't know who to.

Hi All,
I'm pretty sure it's still with Tubbs. I haven't spoken to him in a little while, but haven't heard anything about him selling it.
He's usually to be found around the Buy Sell Cortina web site.
