Lot details

Registration No: SFC 8
Chassis No: E1/PD/19443

Motor Car Location: Northampton

  • First registered as 'SFC 8' on 16th January 1952
  • Retained by the Barbour family for forty-four years prior to entering the current ownership during 2012
  • Off the road since the mid-1970s and now in need of full restoration
  • Offered for sale with continuation buff logbook, current V5C Registration Document, sundry Jowett Car Spares invoices and Javelin Instruction Book
  • Transferable number plate if a current MOT certificate is acquired

Introduced in 1947, the Jowett Javelin was a highly innovative design. The work of Gerald Palmer (poached from MG some five years earlier) it boasted monocoque construction, wind-cheating aerodynamics, all-round independent torsion-bar suspension and rack and pinion steering. Powered by a gutsy flat-four OHV twin-carburettor fed 1486cc engine mated to a four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox (complete with column change), it combined 80mph performance with distinctly sporty handling. A full five- / six-seater family car, its poise and agility were rewarded with class wins in the Monte Carlo Rally (1949, 1951), Spa 24-hours (1949, 2-litre Touring Car) and Tulip International Rally (1953). Upgraded with a fully hydraulic braking system in 1952, it succumbed to Jowett's financial woes the following year after some 23,307 had been made (though, survivors are comparatively few and far between).
