Jaguar 340

Ron Perry Junior loaned £300 from his parents to buy a Jaguar 340 (of the type featured in the Inspector Morse television programme). A customer in the petrol station saw it on site and made an enquiry about whether Ron would be interested in selling it. Ron was reluctant to sell so the customer offered a swap exchange deal of a Ford Transit van with a trailer and a stock car for the Jaguar. After a few months of racing the stock car on the local circuit, a customer from Ron Perry Senior’s workshops broke down and Ron Perry Junior recovered the vehicle using the Transit and trailer. The stock car was subsequently sold for £300 and Ron Perry & Son Breakdown and Recovery was born.
