Re: Jowetts in films
Someone must be using clever image recognition software as well as an encyclopaedic knowledge of cars. In some cases, only a small part of the car is visible. And think how many frames of film have been scanned!
Also there are a few cars that might be mistaken for a Javelin or other Jowett models making programming the brain or the image software that much more difficult.
Twice in my career I worked on image recognition, once at Gould that produced machines that helped in events such as the Challenger disaster to identify objects, once at Unisys working on fingerprint and facial recognition that is used now in some airports. Now the technology is available to everybody on the Internet to recognise faces in pictures. Tag somebody such as a friend or acquaintance and they have lost their anonymity forever.

Re: Jowetts in films
Thanks for details of this site, Chris; at last I now have a lead to the episode of Poirot with a Weasel in it! I've been looking for it for years - I presume Ep. 2.06 means series 2 episode 6 but does anyone know the title of the episode so I can look for it on TV? The weasel in the clip is the only one of the four remaining I haven't seen and belongs to Colin Durham.

Re: Jowetts in films
The Weasel in Poirot used to (and probably still does!) belong to Colin Durham in Kent; I believe he has several vehicles which he hires out for film use. I wish someone can tell me the name of the episode so I can watch for it! It is the one out of four Weasels I have yet to see in the flesh, mine being one of them.

Re: Jowetts in films
Most would have seen the Simple Minds video 'See the Lights' which featured Javelin MUU 395.
I first sent this promo. video to JCC, Video Library when first released back in the nineties.
This digital version on You Tube is worth a look, the final shot overlooking the loch i think is excellent,
Shows the Javelin in silhouette to great effect.

Re: Jowetts in films
I have mentioned this before (ages ago and again in April 2007) but my second Javelin MKC 1 (later 6469 TU) appears very briefly in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
It is in the scene where the spymasters are leaving a 'safe' house (in the dark) and checking that they are not followed.
If you can't make out the car clearly, listen for the 'clunk' as the bonnet is closed after the actor (not Sir Alec) pretends to 'fiddle' with something whilst checking for 'tails'. Can only be a Javelin!
The session was a bit fraught as it was snowing in Earls Court that night and the scene was supposed to take place in June! The whole crew, 'Props' men and me, went round clearing the tops of walls and gates until the Director was satisfied. I remember Sir Alec Guinness was huddled in a corner of a room in a flat presumably hired for the duration, where the only form of heating was a small portable gas fire. The production assistants were very attentive to him but others got 'cold' comfort.

The devil is in the detail!
