Crafting Clarity: Custom Windscreen for a Unique Jago Sandero Kit Car in Tees Valley!
Here at Tees Valley Windscreens & Van Locks Ltd, we love a challenge, especially when it involves a piece of automotive history!
This week, we had the pleasure of working on a truly unique vehicle: a Jago Sandero kit car.
A Glimpse into Jago Sandero Kit Car History:
For those unfamiliar, the Jago Sandero has a fascinating past. Originally conceived in 1971 by Geoff Jago and Richard Park as the 'Jago Geep,' it was one of Britain's pioneering kit cars. These rugged, Jeep-styled vehicles were often built on donor chassis, making each one a bespoke creation.
The 'Sandero' name itself later gained wider recognition when Geoff Jago licensed it to Renault for their Dacia brand – a testament to the original's impact!
Finding original parts for such a niche kit car can be incredibly difficult, and windscreens are no exception.
The Custom Solution:
Precision and Expertise for Kit Car Enthusiasts:
With no direct replacement windscreen available for this classic Jago Sandero, our expertise was truly put to the test. The solution? We meticulously cut a Land Rover Defender windscreen to fit the Jago's flat screen aperture. This isn't a job for the faint-hearted; it requires immense precision and skill to ensure a perfect, watertight seal and maintain structural integrity.
Crucially, we were able to perform this custom cut while preserving the original glass manufacturer's stamp on the Defender glass. This detail is important for authenticity and quality, ensuring the glass meets safety standards and retains its provenance.
This project perfectly showcases our commitment to providing solutions for all vehicles, from modern ADAS-equipped cars to rare kit cars and classics.
When off-the-shelf isn't an option, our technical skill and dedication ensure your vehicle gets the clear view it deserves. Do you have a kit car, classic car, or a unique vehicle in the Tees Valley and North Yorkshire that needs specialist glass work?
