Javelin S

[David Kemp]

Was their a sports Javelin?
I have heard if a small number coming from the factory with tacho & jupiter driveline.
Do any still exist?

Amy's (ex Ben Shaw) had tacho fitted by Ben. The tacho fitted to Amy's is electrical, working off a feed from the coil, rather than the mechanical drive off the dynamo as fitted to Jupiter. Some may well have had some of the Jupiter engine mods, perhaps done by the Jowett Engineering after the factory closed. I have no information on any factory option, although it is highly likely those used for racing and rallying were fitted with many mods from the Competition tuning notes.
By drive line, do you mean propshafts and rear axle? Unlikely the layrub system was changed at the rear, although an overdrive was available fitted midships as per drawings in library. Different ratio rear axle may have been fitted and close ratio boxes were available.
