The structure uses the rhyming pair "jam jar" to stand for "car," following the typical Cockney pattern of replacing a word with a phrase that rhymes with it. It is used in Cockney rhyming slang (London, UK) to mean a car or automobile, often shortened to just "jam." People typically say "I'm taking the jam jar to work" or "Nice jam you've got there." The term originated in mid 20th century London rhyming slang, and remains a recognizable example, though less common than "motor" or "wheels."
