Jowett Javelin and Jupiter - innovative, but only moderately successful

December 17, 2023 — Halwart Schrader 48

The Jowett Javelin, introduced in 1947, was an interesting and innovative new design on the post-war market. The four-door saloon with a boxer front engine was very convincing, but the Jupiter sports car, which even won Le Mans class victories, was even more famous. This retrospective tells the story of the two almost forgotten models and can be seen in many historical illustrations and in the sales literature of the time.

Jowett Jupiter - a rather unconventional Englishman

September 8, 2018 — Rob de la Rive Box 28

The small town of Bradford is many hours away from the center of the English automotive industry. Could this be the reason why "different" cars were built in this Yorkshire village? Cars that not only looked different from the average English car, but were also different in technical terms. This article retraces the history of the Jowett Jupiter and explains how it was different, illustrated with many historical pictures, some of which have never been published before, and a sales brochure.
