The Jabro MKI was the first sports car created by James Broadwell and Ed Alsbury. It was created in 1957 and was an instant success, soon followed by a Mark II and Mark III version. The Mark II was a lighter version, while the Mark III was a smaller version. The engine was typically a Crosley unit with a 2.54-inch bore, 2.36-inch stroke, and inline valves. Output was in the neighborhood of 65 horsepower. The engine was often fitted with Dell Orto-25 semi-downdraft carburetors. The chassis was constructed of a multi-tube birdcage spaceframe, while the body was made of aluminum and fiberglass. The cars were simple, with only essential items. Instrumentation included an oil temperature, oil pressure, and tachometer gauge.
