1934 Jowett Long Saloon "The Lady"

What would you like to know? This one has a flat twin engine, which is what made them famous for climbing the hills of Yorkshire. Having made their first production car in 1910 selling a small batch of I think around 12 at the time gradually gaining a reputation as a robust and economical vehicle for the thrifty Yorkshire man!

Throughout the twenties building on that reliability even a trek across Africa with a pair of cars named "Wait & See" in response to a newspapers wondering if would make the journey. Some of their quirky advertising during their early days is always worth a look at!

By the 1930s they were pretty well into production for a small company. Several models a year, various names and variations from open tourers to short saloons even a commercial range. Always true to the flat twin engine making improvements and changes throughout their production. So Hopefully a brief history of their earlier cars, let me know if you would like anymore info.

A few pics from 1968 for you Alan 






Location for this is the clubs national rally at Harrogate 

i think the wheel chock needs to be a bit bigger

Managed to drag this lady out today. I've been having a few issues with starting, mainly it not liking the old fuel that has been hanging around. It seems to be a real issue, having to empty the float bowl and replacing with fresh every time I wanted to get the engine running. Anyhow after draining out the tank and pumping up some fresh stuff, off she went. So a brief run around the block just to keep things turning and put a bit of smile back on the old face as things begin to ease!
