Re: D9PA
Nigel,
Well the Javelin Registrar should be able to give you an official answer, but for what it is worth here is my unofficial comment.
I have a personal project - very much work in progress - to combine into a computer file all the Javelin Registers issued by the club since I joined in 1978. On this I note last known "spot" of the car, either by creditable mention in Jowetteer or by personal observation. I once was involved with the compilation of a preserved bus book for Ian Allan and that was an awfully big job, because it involved contacting all known owners, but since Javelins are merely a matter of interest, I have limited it to just keeping my eyes open and my ear to the ground with full acceptance that something might slip through. However, since 2013 - a date picked because these cars will definitely still exist unless some very recent catastrophe has taken place, there are 8 cars older than yours that I have noted as existing. Certainly not all will be roadworthy of course and indeed one mention was an appeal for restoration help. Hope this is of interest.

Re: D9PA
Hello Nick.
Your last post made me remember that I have photos of all four Javelins that my (now deceased) friend Bob Mercer of Accrington owned. I bought the second one HWT 727 from him many moons ago for £12, kept it for 6 months, until it needed servicing, - much more complicated than my pre-war - when I sold it for £14..... £2 profit...RESULT!!
Perhaps it's outside your reference range, but I expect the photos will be of interest to the subsequent owners, especially if they are signed up to JowettTalk.
I've a feeling that I can only attach three photos to post, so the post above/below should contain a photo of Bob's 4th Javelin.
All the best for the New Year to you and anyone else reading this. Tony.

Re: D9PA
Bob's 4th and final Javelin - very well known because of the number plate.
