JP Cars [ Joe Potts] were built in Bellshill near Glasgow in Scotland and some 34 cars of different types were built in the 1950-55 period. There are believed to be 8 remaining. Joe Potts drove a Cooper car in 1949 and was sure he could improve the handling, so he decided to build his own cars. They are probably the only race cars to be built in Scotland. This car is a Mk1b it was built in 1951 and remained in Scotland. During the 1950's and early 60's it was modified and evolved into a special known as the Osclyat.
