JC Wyvern

Do you know anyone with one of these any more? Out of what I'm lead to believe 57 initially made, they're fewer and further between. My dad bought one about 16 years ago, she was put under a cover and off the road for the past 10-12 years.. I've given her a new home and am trying to put her right. Its all a little bit of a learning curve. I know the previous owner used her for uphill sprints. She's got a magnum 2.3l engine, twin zenith carbs with the 4 speed box and overdrive. Anyone with knowledge of the vauxhall magnums or even better jc wyvern cars would be fantastic to know, as shes approx 20 years older than me! I have photos but please bear with me as new to the forum so struggling to add!

I have some Magnum experience, but I must admit it's more bodywork which won't really be much help. Sounds like it's the same running gear though. Both the Droopsnoot Group and the Viva Owners Club have members with knowledge of the mechanicals on a Magnum, which in turn are very similar to OHC Viva and Firenza. I must admit I hadn't heard of this - I've heard of the Marlin (some of which were HC) and the Panther Lima of course has a lot of Magnum stuff in it. Be interesting to see more.

Hi
Yes I've also got a JC Wyvern. Picture is when I got it. Picked it up last year, completely stripped, sandblasted almost everything & now being rebuilt after spraying. Now on the electrics. Its running a 2.3 HC magnum engine. If I can help with any questions just ask & I'll try. I'll post another recent picture soon. Grey painted is latest pic.

lovely colour. show us more please.

Welcome - Have you got to grips with it yet or just blown the dust off it - please feel free to start a thread on it in the workshop section - just let us know should you require any help posting pics 

Hi Iam a new member and have just purchased a JC Wyvern any Owners out there.

I would think that's going to be somewhat a difficult task due to the fact with the car being a kit most of them will probably registered as the donor vehicle - there's not even a listing on any of the 'How Many Left' sites - The kits were built & marketed by JC Composites between 1983 - 1986 - Looks like there is no owners club so unless you can come across someone whom has complied their own register or retained any form of a factory record its going to be very hard work - However, it looks like there is a few of them just in this thread so you could start by contacting them directly
