Ivan Goriup Posted June 3, 2024 Share #21903 Posted June 3, 2024 I'm genuinely surprised none of the English contingent have guessed this one yet.......I'm quite sure it's a (1949 - 1954) Jowett Javelin Jupiter. For some inexplicable reason my father really lusted after one of these when they were introduced, but decided against it after he drove one.

JZG You obviously missed my earlier comment about Yorkshire (the Jowett was made in Bradford). I knew what the vehicle was but as I have nothing currently to post, refrained from saying to allow others to have a go. I loved Dunk's response: 'appen, which is classic Yorkshire.

I first came across the Jowett Jupiter back in the days when I had a couple of air-cooled cars and used to frequent various festivals dedicated to this type of vehicle. I absolutely LOVED the styling of the Jupiter - all swoopy curves everywhere - but was less enthusiastic about that of the Javelin. Their owners were unfailingly a happy, friendly bunch and keen to share their experiences of driving the things. No-one ever seemed to mention any faults with their cars which I took to be more a sign of loyalty than 'The Truth of the Matter'...

Ivan Goriup Posted June 5, 2024 Share #21914 Posted June 5, 2024 The wheels look like might be Alfa-Romeo, the taillight reminds me of a 1960ish A-R Sprint coupe........but then there's that 'trunk' shutline. JZG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted June 5, 2024 Share #21915 Posted June 5, 2024 Is the 'bubble' wrap significant? Might this be a micro-car? Goggomobile ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted June 5, 2024 Share #21916 Posted June 5, 2024 The general shape of the rear-lights (what we can see of them!) reminds me of the MGB GT RV8 but it's a LONG time since I have seen one up close so might be well off-track! Philip. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Goriup Posted June 6, 2024 Share #21920 Posted June 6, 2024 Sorry, indeepthought, but I believe the car shown is a GTV Tipo 105 - the 106 was a larger, longer wheelbase model. Lovely car, Perkin. Hope you enjoy it for a long time after you get if finished and on the road. Wonderful cars, Alfas of that period I had 4 GTVs , including a GTA. If I'm correct & get the next turn, I have to relinquish my turn to whoever has something interesting to post as I'm leaving very early in the AM for the season's first serious fly-fishing trip.
