Here's an entry on eBay.
It won't be for the conservative Jowetterati, but it's worth a look as it incorporates so much engineering.
I wonder if it drives well on the straight and gets round corners.
Wish I was 40 years younger! But back then I couldn't have afforded it.
Just imagine it as a Jowett taxi at Goodwood.

Re: Worth a look? Jowett Javelin V8!!
This vehicle has changed hands several times within several years and recently failed to sell a Brightwells auction - it all seams to indicate a few things - Firstly it's not very practical - I think it is only a two seater and I doubt that it handles very well - secondly - recent listings on E bay / Auction house and it's failed to sell would guide it as overpriced - pity really has it looks smart enough though I don't think the Javelin lends itself to this type of modification
