JOWETTS FOR SALE MARCH 2015

[Chris Spencer]

Market Comment: Still a sluggish market out there although the ex Monte Carlo Jupiter that was for sale with a French dealer has disappeared from sale - a few realistic & viable Bradford van projects have appeared recently and the usual excessively over priced suspects are still unsold - what a surprise !

1952 Javelin Project Said to start & stop by the vendor but in a non roadworthy condition, quite scruffy in appearance and requires work to the outer panels in the usual areas that suffer from rust perforation, there are also a few cosmetic items missing and although usable the interior also requires some work. For sale via a E Bay fixed price advert and quite heavily priced given it's condition at £3,500 or offer (unsure if the vendors idea of an offer is something that actually reflects the true value of the vehicle)

1920 Jowett 8 HP light car Fresh to market through a Essex dealer - although the car appears to have changed hands a couple of times in the last few years - Finished in light grey over mid grey with black trim and light tan hood, Chassis number: B2080, Registration number: U3566, Restored in the early 2000's the car presents very well, at £28,000 is this the turning point for the pricing of vintage Jowetts ?

1949 Javelin - Early car, solid & roadworthy, new tyres, gold coachwork, presentable and solid car which would benefit from some cosmetic TLC, for sale by club member Danuta Morgan 01633 211410 - car is located in Newport, Wales - well priced at £3,500

1952 Farr bodied Jupiter The advert is sparse in detail but I have made some enquiries in order to add further detail - one of four cars coachbuilt to Jupiter chassis by Farr - I am led to believe that only 3 remain - this was apparently the reserve car for the 1953 Monte Carlo rally - having been barn stored for the last 40 years the car is described as being complete but in a fragile state - given the condition the asking price is very unrealistic at £9,500 now on the market for several months and going nowhere at this kind of money - web link to the advert below but no images - the car is in the West Midlands
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C560517

Early Jupiter SA - Older restoration - recent brakes - very smartly presented - car is in Cincinnati, USA - Guide price $27,000 - £30,000

1951 Jowett Javelin Deluxe Cream with tan interior, restored - vendor has taken the liberty of advertising it has 'Monte Carlo Winning Classic For Sale' However fails to state that if this the actual Monte Carlo car - which I somewhat doubt given the loose sales description that follows the headline, the car is in Brisbane, Australia with a hefty asking price of £11,000
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C541474

1951 Javelin project - Black - running but requires lots of work - LXT 259 - Price is a very unrealistic £2,800 and therefore no surprise that it's been on the market for over 12 months
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C515225 Reduced again to £2,300 - still strong money in my book BUT NOW SOLD

1929 Jowett 7hp - Restored chassis / running gear fitted with a new ash framed / alloy sports touring ducks back body - currently bare alloy finish / unpainted -
2 / 3 seater with dicky - registration EG 1893 - car is in Winsford, Cheshire £16,950 - near offer considered
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C514548

1952 Javelin - Straight car, nicely presented with gold coachwork, original interior in red with nice patina but now showing signs of wear
The car is for sale with a dealer in Lancashire for an eye watering overpriced & unrealistic £18,000 !!! Remains for sale but now reduced in price to £15,990 or near offer which still somewhat maintains the vehicle in the unrealistic & overpriced league
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C513130

1926 Jowett roadster - Rebodied in a mid 1930's sports style body finished in bright red and fitted with a Morris side valve engine - only part of the car that is original Jowett is the chassis / axles & wheels - the car is in Elsnez, Germany - Vehicle has been on the market in excess of 2 years at a very unrealistic asking price of £14,200

The 1920 Jowett looks a little beauty!

The 1920 Jowett looks a little beauty!

Noel - I have to agree with you but you have noted the it carries a 'DPJ' specification (DPJ = Deep pockets Jobbie)

Wow. Is it made of gold? I think the decimal point is in the wrong place or perhaps he will pay you that amount to take it away. Reasonable offers considered?

The vendor could have spent that amount of money on the restoration so far quite easily, but I am dubious about the use of the word 'new' as it looks like the restoration stalled many years ago.

Bonkers. He does say all reasonable offers considered, but reasonable offers are going to start with a 1. Confused on what happened to the original sale, the market was prepared to pay just over £2K, they now relist at more than 4?

Jack.

I suspect that there may have been some insider or malicious bidding on the last auction.
Did anyone record the bidding history?

I have to agree with Jack 'Bonkers' is the correct term - the project is worth what the market bid - circa £2k - I would say that the bidding was genuine and this is just another vendor with totally unrealistic price expectations for a Jowett.

Anybody interested in my mint 52 Javelin. All body problems have been professionally attended to - wish the Club had produced replacement g/f rear wings, would have saved a great deal of welding. My last Javelin had these - ex George Mitchell and they were a perfect fit. I have prepared a pdf information leaflet with photos etc if you want the full SP. Asking £9750 which for one as good is not silly money. Car is in Leeds. I am well known within the JCC.
