Approximately 37 Jeeps were delivered to 'Jurassic Park' located on the Costa Rican island of Isla Nublar. A good number of these were transferred from the nearby islands of Isla Sorna and Isla Tacano where they had been heavily modified to deal with the flora and fauna of a prehistoric nature.

Of course, once the tragedy and demise of Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar became common knowledge, Ingen Corp did their very best to hastily erase the facility and its 'inhabitants' from existence, as part of a well documented and ultimately flawed 'damage -limitation' programme.

The Jeeps, Explorers, cranes and many other vehicles and associated equipment were either crushed, or if you believe local mainland workers, hastily thrown into the ocean between Isla Nublar and the coast of Costa Rica.

In late 2000, through my backer's contacts, I got news of three of these possible Jeeps that were en-route to the crushing facility in San Jose on the mainland and, along with a couple of 'friends', flew out on Christmas Eve that year to see if we could 'obtain' them and quietly get them back to the UK, for our own purposes.

Upon arrival at the facility, it was obvious only one Jeep would be salvageable as the other two, #14 and #31, were utterly beyond repair. We took photographs of the damage as it was clear they had sustained repeated attacks by creatures with large teeth, which supported the evidence my backer was looking for to support her own narrative.

Handsome donations to local charities changed hands and the remains of Jeep #26 were loaded into a custom-built TEU shipping container at Moin and set sail aboard the Santa Marta Express bound for Southampton in February 2001.

14 days later the container arrived at my Estate and was placed in the capable hands of my vehicle restoration team.

A small prayer ceremony was held before we began taking the battered vehicle apart as it was clear, upon closer inspection, that there were occupants on board at the time the vehicle sustained its many damages. These, tragic, indications were also meticulously documented by our backer, and DNA samples taken away for identification of both human and animal remains.

Since that day, we've spared no expense in piecing the vehicle back to its original condition as it was thought to have been in, just days before the violent demise of Jurassic Park in summer of 1993.

The plan is to use this perehistoric motorised remnant to raise awareness of the dangers of 'playing' with genetics, but also as a way of raising funds for the hopeful retrieval of one more example in a sealed container at the bottom of the Pacific, before it is long rusted away and becomes home to fish and other, possibly less indigenous aquatic visitors, from a long forgotten era, also thrown into the ocean during the hasty retreat from the doomed island.
