Minijem Futura - AllCarIndex

The Jem Futura was designed by Robin Statham, builder of the Minijem. First shown at the 1971 Racing Car Show in London, it was built on a VW floor pan, but had its own glass-fibre floor to ensure rigidity. The most striking feature was its mode of entry through the side-hinged windscreen. Only three body shells were made - the original prototype, a street legal version with headlights in the front wings and a third which ended up in Brazil. The development of the Futura was too costly for Jem Cars which went into liquidation the same year.
