Jowett Cars were built in Bradford, from 1906 to 1954. All pre-war
cars up to 1935 were powered by a twin-cylinder horizontally
opposed 7hp engine. In 1935 a new four-cylinder horizontally
opposed engine was introduced with a 10hp rating running alongside
the original twin-cylinder model which had been increased to an 8hp
rating. Little changed during this pre-war period, many of the
models were made in very small numbers, and sadly, there are no
survivors today. The Jowett brothers experimented in the mid-1930's
with a new in-line power unit which did not go into production. The
post-war period saw massive changes in the Jowett company, with
both Jowett brothers retiring by the end of the war. The first
all-new model was the Javelin saloon, launched in 1947 and the
Jupiter sportscar in 1950. By 1951 there should have led to a
completely new range of cars, vans, pick-up and estate cars, known
as the Bradford CD range. There were plans for a racing Jupiter
known as the R1 and to re-vamp the Jupiter for road use known as
the R4. Sadly, none of these models materialised and Jowett's
history could have been so different had fate been kinder to them.
