Jolus Formula Junior
... they still don't carry the same mystique and aural impact of a brightly colored field of Formula Juniors.
Bob Joass
„I had originally started into motor sport by joining up with the 500 car club and built up a real
rough one with which I have never competed. I exchanged it for a 1928 Buick tourer (I have no idea why the car dealer
wanted it) and it was never seen again....fortunately.
My next attempt was much better as by then I had acquired welding equipment plus some machine tools which I found
made things much easier to create as you could imagine. I ran that car for some time in hill climbs and some circuit
work until someone made me an offer which I couldn't refuse. That bought me more equipment and another gent
asked me to build a replica Cooper because he had a 1500cc B.M.C. engine and a Derrington cylinder head.
That car doesn't exist at all now. All those preliminaries then led to Formula Junior which is when I came up with the JOLUS
name which means nothing special but is simply the way my name (Joass) is pronounced and I decided to put the
"L" in the middle.“
