Packed with new information and pictures, with a new look at the factors that brought down Jowett

The eye-catching Jowett Jupiter burst onto the motoring scene in 1950 and was an instant success in national and international competition. It was Jowett's last, most expensive and fastest model, and the book relates in an entertaining, readable and informative way its remarkable sporting and other achievements and history from 50 years ago up to today.

The book has a foreword by Gordon Wilkins who has been a motoring journalist for more years than he would like to be reminded of (including writing for both British magazines Motor and The Autocar) and who has taken part in the Le Mans 24-Hour race and the Monte Carlo Rally many times.

An unsolicited testimonial from a total stranger reads:-

"I am writing to say how much I enjoyed the book - its freshness, crisp and humourous prose, the anecdotes, good illustrations, the format and not least the excellent proof-reading". Thanks, Michael Walsh.

Classic and Sports Car says: "All aspects of this individualistic 1950s sports car are covered...slim but comprehensive history...special coachwork, film appearances and a wealth of intriguing facts...an accessible and fun production...".

As Malcolm Thorne (Reference Librarian, National Motor Museum at the UK's Beaulieu), said to Edmund Nankivell:--

"it makes a very welcome change from the usual titles on MG, Triumph and Jaguar".
