Isn't that a blue Star on the left?

I think it is a Leader but maybe I've got it the wrong way round

[RobMsport]

It was nice to meet everybody who I only knew on the forum also great to talk with Jeremy again . The last time was driving up to his with MattD to check over a RIOT but then invited to see the J15 buck that was still in progress . Lucky with today's weather too , after some rain on my way up but pleased I didn't need to sheet it up going home -- an easy run at 1hr 40 mins for the 92 miles , 2hrs going up.
I asked as did others while at lunch about possible magazine copies and photos --- Ian said yes , certainly

[MaRkStar]

Great day chaps!
And yes good to put faces to usernames
Rest assured the blue car in the background is a Star the key differences are in the body shape, the Star is far more angular in the corners, the Leader has an indentation in the rear for the fitting of a spare wheel, and the Star has ali side panels whereas the Leader has GRP. The confusion could be due to the unusual front bonnet bulge, that gives the front a slightly different perspective.
The cars that were not there were the Leader, the Riot (car version) R1ot (bike version) and the mojo2, also were there a few striker variants such as the clubman??

Mine is a Mojo 2

We were missing a Mojo (1) and a Mojo SE

J15 was the 15th model, so with the new Vectis we should have had 16 cars for a full house...

Apparently they were expecting someone else with a Riot to turn up, hence why Adam didn't bring his (also Adam said his hadn't done many miles recently so his confidence in a big trip was low!)

[quote="NeilEverett"]Mine is a Mojo 2

so here we are all keen JPSC bods and we can't even get the line up right

So come on Neil what's the difference??

So what would be a full house??

[jeffw]

There where varies version of the Striker (3 or 4), two versions of the Phoenix (and the Mk4 Clubman) and Nigel's Stiker with the aerobody

[jeffw]

Of course there are 9 in the photo and Jeremy claims 16 (the Vectis would be the J16)

So see how many we can name

1. Star
2. Leader
3. Mk1 Striker
4. Mk2 Striker
5. Mk3 Striker
6. Mk4 Clubman
7. Phoenix
8. Fury
9. Stylus
10. Jester
11. Mojo
12 Mojo2
13 Riot (BEC)
14 Riot (CEC)
15. J15
16 Vectis

Not a bad resume...is this in the right order (and are they correct?)

Not sure where the Mojo SE fits in there... Maybe JP just counts the Riot as one model (BEC and CEC are essentially the same car...) and Mojo SE fits in at 14th place (it basically inherited the Riot's slightly longer wheelbase with different rear body to suit)

To fully answer Mark's question on the Mojo versions, see this little history lesson on my website:
