Jowett Car Club goes for a hat trick at NEC Spring outing
The Jowett Car Club is presenting an all restoration ‘work in progress' vehicle line up for this year’s Practical Classics Restoration & Classic Car Show, pulling out all the stops after winning the Club Stand of the Show award for the past two years to see if it can make it a hat trick.

The club’s display features an untouched 1936 Jowett saloon barn find, a Jowett Bradford van chassis fitted with a new ash frame, a Jowett Jupiter sports that is mid-way through restoration and a 1950 Jowett Javelin body shell.

The Javelin will be an active project throughout the show with regular demonstrations of reshaping and re-profiling bodywork, and the use of polyester fillers to professional standards. Such was the popularity of the demonstrations in the previous two years, the club will be holding them hourly over the two-day show.

“This type active restoration work on the stand always draws interest,” explains stand organiser Chris Spencer. “It’s a task that owners are either too scared of or go at it like a bull at a gate! We’ll banish some of the myths and the fears.”

The club will also be showing how to rebuild a Jowett gearbox whilst restoration will commence on a unique ex Jowett Factory 'cut a way' display engine – both mounted on a workbench so visitors can see how it’s done from all angles.
