There’s now’t to compare with a Jowett
As folk are amazed at just how it,
Can cross the Sahara
And go even farther
If visas and permits allow it.
In Bradford they made different sorts
From Tourers to Sandracers and Sports
No matter what style
It’s more smiles per mile
According to drivers’ reports
The wheelbase is only seven feet
And the profile looks tiny and neat
But ground clearance is high
O’er rocks it can fly
And on Trials it performs quite a treat.
Like a Nash the gear change is outside
And the brakes on the propshaft applied
A half turn of the wheel
With it’s sensitive feel
Three-point-turns are now cast aside.
“The small car with the big pull”
Was not just “marketing bull.”
Two pistons proposed
Horizontally opposed
Such power!! I’m not pulling the wool!
For a while they have been out of fashion
But now they are back with a passion
They didn’t make many
They’re not ten a penny
In fact they are starting to ration
If you want a car to compete
And a Brescia’s too pricey to meet
‘Cos your cash won’t allow it
Then go for a Jowett
Such value is too hard to beat
