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.
