The Jowett brothers started the Jowett Motor Manufacturing Company in 1901.

The company continued making a range of saloon, sports and utility vehicles until 1954.

This web will record the History; but for now I recommend you read one of the following publications. A marvelous booklet is available to read here.

At the UK price of £9.99 (USA price $18.99) it is excellent value for money. Compiled by Noel Stokoe, Press secretary of the Jowett Car Club and the Jupiter Owners Auto Club.
