Mongol Rally – FR Jones and Son Ltd | Warehouse Operating As Normal

Aaaaaand they’re off!

The starting line at FR Jones and Son

The boys make their grand exit

We sent the boys on their way at a launch event at our shop in Sydenham on Sunday, with a pretty good turnout of well-wishers and supporters who all came along to wave the team off on their adventure.

All ready and waiting for the big launch!

The Lion Rampant team have been busy making the final adjustments to the car and stocking up on supplies ready for the big send off tomorrow! We will be holding a launch party from 11am on Sunday 20th July at our main shop in Sydenham (Unit 3 Sydenham Industrial Estate, Kangley Bridge Road, London SE26 5BA) – any Lion Rampant fans are very welcome to come and join us in waving them off. There will be a BBQ fired up and drinks on hand! Read more “All ready and waiting for the big launch!”

Car preparations are well underway

Travelling to Mongolia in a purpose-built 4×4 would be challenge enough but, if you’re going to do it in a 12-year-old Nissan Micra, you’d better make some slight adjustments first…

FR Jones and Son sponsor Mongol Rally team

We are very proud to sponsor the The Lion Rampant team entry for the 2014 Mongol Rally! The Lion Rampant team will be attempting to travel roughly 10,000 miles from the UK to Mongolia, unassisted, in a 2002 K11 Nissan Micra in aid of Invictus Trust (a teenage mental health charity) and Cool Earth (a rainforest preservation charity). They will also be taking supplies for orphanages and schools along the route.

We thought this was a very worthy cause, most deserving of some of our fine British Pounds, and we hope you do too – donations can be made via the team Virgin Money Giving page.
