DESCRIPTION:
From the Author Edmund Nankivell co-authored this book with Geoff McAuley.
Designed to launch the small Bradford firm of Jowett into successful mass production, the good-looking four door family saloon was amongst the most innovative cars then available. The Jowett Javelin was the first all-new post-war British car. Discerning motoring enthusiasts soon began a love affair with the Javelin and its sporting sister, the Jupiter, that lasts to this day, even though their achievements were not enough to save the company from its ultimate closure.
Geoff McAuley has run Javelins and Jupiters for some forty years, during which time has served as Technical Information Officer for the Jowett Car Club. He has written many books on the successes and failures of Jowett. He has been producing detailed annual Jupiter registers since 1973. Edmund Nankivell has been involved with Jupiters since 1967. He was involved in the production of The Complete Jowett History.
"First all-new Britsh postwar car fondly remembered" according to Daantjie Badenhorst. If you are younger that fifty, the name Jowett will mean nothing to you, unless you are a motoring historian.However, the Jowett Javelin was the first all-new British car since World War II, and that alone makes its story worth telling. This book is unusual in that two authors, Geoff Mc Auley and Edmund Nankivell, co-operated in writing it. Not only do they tell the story of the developme. "Jowett Javlin Jupiter" according to S. Suzanne Hill. This is a terrific book on a little known sportcar seldom seen even in England, and much more rare in the U.S.There were only 8 of these cars here in 195Jowett Javlin Jupiter S.
