Yes, interesting . It seems to be a deluxe-- grill, bumpers, roof aerial--unfortunately the number plate is obscured. It is very shiny and looks straight. On the website it says £TBA maybe they realised £1500-2000 might be low! ? Bob Lintott

was advertised in a magazine at that price, but checking today see they have it at £2000-£3000 which still seems reasonable

It all depends on condition but it will be interesting to see what it fetches at auction . £ 2000-3000 could imply a lot of work needed or a very conservative estimate if the picture is a good guide to body condition (which looks good). Good Javelins are in the £6000+ region now , for example Peter Rodgers has one in his showroom at £7450 .
Did the magazine ad have a picture with the Reg. no.? If so it could be checked in the club register.Bob Lintott

In the 2008 Club register GAK169 is shown as believed to exist but not registered. It is shown as black and is D9 PA 4839 D and was registered in Bradford ( factory? ) in about September 1949. The wording gives a clue to the price , which keeps rising ! might be interesting ? Does anyone recall the number ? Bob

this car has been re-entered for the August sale, as it didnt sell last time at this estimate pretty sure it would be available at bottom end of sale price estimate

The car has apparently been dismantled at least partly , for restoration , by the previous owner. The picture on the Auction Website was taken before it was taken aoart , so there will be a possibly substantial cost for restoration which explains the rather low price. Bob Lintott
