Zelandeth Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Sod the car... someone send the person who stone that bloody advert back to primary school. Then duct tape them to the damn seat until they learn at least some basics of how the English language should be used. Must be the same one who responded to all my for sale ads on Gumtree...

Grumpy Northener Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 "Good morning Halfords, Gary speaking, how can I help?" "Hi, yeah I need an oil filter for a Jowett Javelin, have you got any in stock?" click brrrrrrrrrrrr "Hello? Hello?" And I would imagine that's what parts supply will be like Quite different from what you would imagine 'Jowett Car Club' run their own parts department supplying the vast majority of parts for all Jowett models built between 1910 - 1954 - with the Javelin parts range being very strong / accommodating - alongside this is a very wide ranging technical knowledge amongst the membership that is also supplemented by marque specialists - incidentally - formed in 1923 the club is the worlds oldest one make car club tooSavvy, purplebargeken and Twiggy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Northener Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 The Jowett Club are now aware of it so hopefully it will get rescued. Indeed we are aware of the car and we are currently seeking a suitable home for it - if anyone would like to take it on and requires assistance / info on the model and how the club could help please do not hesitate to contact me (Jowett Car Club - committee member) Yoss, purplebargeken, Christine and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Northener Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Is that the one where the body shop took the piss and lost all the trim? No it's not - that Javelin is due into my workshop at the end of March in order to correct / sort out the problems created by the previous so called professional bodyshop Christine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 There used to be a highly patina'd Javelin parked up out the front of Flynn's legendary wrecking yard in Cooma, NSW. I'll look for a piccie when I get home. UPDATE: this is the one. I took this photo twelve years ago, so can't say for sure if it's still there... but then again, they don't really go in much for stock rotation. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 That is a fantastic picture. That looks like an art installation. Looks like a lovely place to sit and enjoy a cup of tea. Or something long and cool on a nice summer day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wack Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 When my dad lived in the Southern Hemisphere he found a Javelin buried in his back garden. For some reason he left it there.A mates dad was offered a bsa in the 70s when nobody wanted them, even the scrap man wouldn't collect it , he had nowhere to store it so the guy ended up using it as hardcore under a patio, roll on 25 years and they're having the patio relaid so he goes to have a look at the remains being unearthed and ends up bringing it home It takes a few years but many visits to autojumbles and a lot of hard work and he was riding round on it. Somebody told the TV and they just turned up with a camera crew , interviewed him on the doorstep in his slippers then put it on the 6 o'clock news There's a bit of the story here but all of it is subscription by the looks of it https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-87749663.html eddyramrod and neil1971 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
