we have repaired Jowett & all other UK Classic car instruments for over 50yrs.
we have 2 Jowett sets in @ the moment (Javelin & Jupiter) & we have Michael Kavanaugh (Cavendish Garage) in Keighley.
my father worked in the toolroom @ the Idle Works in Bradford in the late 1940's / 50's
if you you could add a link from your web site to our web site that would be great >>

Hi Keith, thank you very much for giving us a mention, I am nearly 80 now & forgetting a few thinks BUT Steve who now does most of the work is only 46 so
The business will continue, we are now able to upgrade ALL the Jowett clocks to Quartz ( including the small clock one in the Jupiter Speedo with no change to the fitted appearance
