THE J B A FALCON PLUS 2, IS LARGER THAN THE ORIGINAL ROADSTER AND HAS A REAR BENCH SEAT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN AND A REAR BOOT.
THE EASIEST WAY TO RECOGNIZE THIS MODEL IS BY THE WINDSCREEN. IT IS LEVEL AT THE BASE AND DOES NOT BOLT TO THE SIDE OF THE SCUTTLE, BUT INSTEAD, SITS ON THE TOP AND IS BOLTED STRAIGHT DOWN THROUGH THE TOP INTO THE SCUTTLE. THIS IS A DESIGN ASPECT OF THIS MODEL, WHICH HAS BEEN PICKED UP BY THE SUBSEQUENT J B A FALCON. IT EFFECTIVELY REFINES THE BODY LINES OF THE CAR, WHICH ENABLED J B A TO SUPPLY A FULLY COMPLETE FACTORY BUILT WINDSCREEN, WHICH IS VERY EASY TO FIT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IS MUCH MORE TRUE TO 1930’S BUILD TECHNIQUES.
THE PLUS 2, WHICH IS PRIMARILY FORD CORTINA BASED, WAS IN PRODUCTION FOR 3 YEARS. THE CHASSIS WAS MANUFACTURED IN-HOUSE AND CONSTRUCTED FROM 100 X 50 HOLLOW SECTION STEEL. SIMPLE BUT STRONG, IT IS OF PERIMETER FRAME DESIGN WITH GALVANISED PANELLED STEEL FLOORS.
