Jaray designed his own cars starting with the 1923 Ley and followed on with designs for Chrysler, Mercedes-Benz, Maybach, Apollo, Dixi, Audi, Adler, Jawa, Ford, Steyer and others.
Despite being one of the few representational graduates from Goldsmiths, he was included in a number of largely conceptual exhibitions such as « A Spiritual Dimension » in 1989, a major touring exhibition organised by Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery along with Goldsmiths tutors Brian Falconbridge, Michael Kenny and Carl Plackman and including Craigie Aitcheson, Tess Jaray and Bob Law and supported by works from the Arts Council Collection as well as that of the Royal Academy.
