'Chris Spencer you are charged with being in serial ownership of Jowett vehicles - how do you plead ? - Very guilty your honour'
So a member of the club admits that he is never going to get round to restoring this late 40's Jowett Bradford van - its complete and comes with a lot of spares Simple 2 cylinder horizontally opposed engine - the vans were built on a separate chassis with ash framing to support the panels - it is normally the ash frame that is the death of most vans and sees them converted to pick up style bodies - thankfully this one is very sound and just requires some of the minor frame pieces replacing - so after a trip to the Peak District to collect it yesterday its now back at home Last on the road 50 years ago - first owners were 'Rickmansworth Water Company' So it joins the queue with the other Jowett restoration projects that await in the wings

Re: Jowett Bradford Van
We know that the original owners were 'Rickmansworth Water Company' so the local water supplier prior to merger with the now multi nationalsThat will look superb all sign written up!

Having now had the time to have a closer look at it - it's probably next on the list to do once the Early Javelin restoration is completed - this is a different challenge - a lot more taking apart / cleaning / repainting / rebuilding than the weld a thon / more intense restoration of the Javelin that's currently underwaythats a great find.. waiting to follow this thread with interest.
