OverviewThe all-new Jowett Javelin was widely acclaimed one of the world's great cars when it was unveiled in 1947. Designed by Gerald Palmer, who later created the MG Magnette, Wolseley 4/44 and 6/90, and Riley Pathfinder, it combined style, performance, handling, and economy in a way few cars of its era could match. Built in Bradford, England, by Jowett Cars Ltd, more than 20,000 Javelins were sold across five models in the six years from 1948. This is the story of Mac Henshall's journey restoring two Javelins-one that began as a lemon and became a peach-along with other cars he has owned. Told with humour and brutal honesty, it will strike a chord with enthusiasts who have poured endless hours and money into their pride and joy, not always successfully. Restoration tips throughout the book and a checklist for when considering buying classics may help avoid the mistakes the author made.
