Heron Cars

[1] The MJ 1 was a two-seater mid-engined coupe designed in 1980 and with prototypes displayed at the 1981 Auckland motor show.

Finally in a fairly acrimonious mood, Baker brought back the two-thirds share from Summit.

Baker also made an extra body, which was fitted with a Rover V8, motor and five-speed Subaru gearbox.

It had a very light aluminium monocoque chassis, Triumph Vitesse front suspension, a five-speed Heron/Škoda gearbox, and unequal length wishbones on the rear.

The Corvair engine was unavailable so a Daimler Dart 2558cc V8 connected to a Citroën DS 19 gearbox was installed instead.

Heron also specialised in modifying vehicles for use by the disabled, made small electric trucks, and spray units for orchards.
