:lol: Well not quite but it might head that way - the Jag & the Rover are shortly to head off to new pastures to make way for the Jowett projects that are waiting in the wings - but it just so happens that that a couple of nice-ish Jowetts have very recently come to the market - so you never know - but I think the largest private Jowett collection in the UK also resides in the Bradford area but more or less in secret and its in double figures

Aron - It is indeed the final creation of Gabriel B Voisin and was named 'The Biscooter' - probably the ugliest thing on wheels that he ever designed when compared with the stunning cars of the 1930's that he penned.

I always thought that a biscooter was the garden of an ambivalent woman. Nope, sorry, that's a bi's cooter I'm thinking about. :|

Possibly, but it does have plenty of them.

Aron's on fire with these weird motors. Can't wait for the next peculiarity. :thumbs:

Where you at, Aron man? :idea: I bet he's doing a special "car show weather" native folk dance so that Ryhope gets 68 degrees and no rain on Sunday.. :mrgreen:
