I am interested to source any information regarding







Re 1953 standard Javelin
KHR 73
colour cream
with delux interior plus dash board

This was my father's car - he purchased this from Drumond Black in 1969 & sold it around 1975 to someone in Aberdeenshire area. I contacted Javelin register several years ago = no recent history & Drumond Black who knew of the new owner at that time was only aware it was for sale several years later.
This was the car I learned to drive in. It was not in immaculate condition when sold but I remember Dad saying new owner planned to restore the car.

I would really like to hear any known history & its possible where abouts. Of course it may have been scrapped but since it is a late model it might have been stored away some where?

Best wishes

Wendy - The car is registered with DVLA and is currently listed with the correct details / colour etc - which suggests that it is still out there somewhere

Hi Chris,

That is certainly encouraging - I am a very sentimental soul
I did a search on DVLA site a while back - but came back not listed contact DVLA. I wrote to them but received standard letter stating not able to give details etc.
I know if it was still around - I would probably want to buy it.

If you do ever here anything more about the car - grateful if you let me know

Many thanks
Wendy

HI WENDY IAM THE OWNER OF THE SAID KHR73 I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO NO MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY I BOUGHT IT END OF LAST YEAR FROM A MR OGSTON IN THE ABERDEENSHIRE AREA WHO WAS GOING TO DO IT UP BUT THE YEARS HAVE PAST HIM BY HE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT 12 TO 15 YEARS I BELEIVE A MR MCKAY OWNED IT BEFORE THAT FROM THE ELGIN THEN CORNHILL AREA IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE INFO I WOULD LOVE TO HERE ABOUT IT DO U HAVE ANY PICS WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM THANKS MEANTIME

HI WENDY WOULD YOU HAVE ANY PICTURES OF THE CAR WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM THANKS

Hi Peter,

Just back from South West Scotland visiting Dad. I was checking my e-mail up there & your enquiry was forwarded to my email. I did reply but no signs of this on this web page -so not sure whether you received? Dad seemed really pleased to hear car still exists. From what you are saying sounds like car kept in moth balls for 42 years & amasing to think its been in Aberdeenshire area all this time. We were living at the Bridge of Don in 1970's

I will have a hunt around for any photos. Dad bought car from Drumond Black around 1969 & sold it around 75-76. It was the car I learned to drive in so holds some significance to me. Dad spent many an hour on the car which kind of irritated my mother and so it was reluctantly sold.

I would love to see any current photos


Best wishes
Wendy
