Jowett made a Javelin and a Jupiter. Javelin was a saloon, with flat-four
engine. 47-53, with hydraulic brakes only from 50 (I think).
Jupiter was a tubular chassis looking like a very peculiar TR3. Aluminum
nose that lifted ala XKE. Flat four engine. Handled nicely and won class at
Le Mans in 52-53. Only 889 made.
