Barn find - Bradford by Jowett

[johnelfixit]

Kevin,
Have a look at http://jowett.org/ and click on the link to the Jowett Car
Club of Australia. You will find a picture of three Jowett Bradford `utes`.
Antipodean members will be most interested in your find! Should have a flat
twin watercooled engine in the front, post war cars (Javelin, looks not
unlike a 401, and Jupiter, not unlike a Jag XK120, have watercooled flat
four engines). I have a couple of Jupiters, one standard and one with a
special body by Richard Mead, who also built the Rover Marauders and is
reputed to have bodied a Bristol, but I have yet to find any evidence of
this.
Jowetts ceased trading in the early `50s but an active club keeps them alive
and supplied with spares.

Regards

Hi all -

When I met wife Shannon, she had a 50% restored Jupiter in her
garage, leftover from the ex. With tons of spares. It was all sold
finally. Ex has passed away, but her former brother in law is the
registrar for the Jowett club in the US. Yes, the Jupiter sort of
resembles the XK-120m but...

A wonderfully restored Jupiter is reportedly for sale at $50K,
probably much less than the resto costs, here in Southern California.
