Could not have told you what it was without some detective work but knew instantly where the vehicle was located has the same location also houses the largest museum collection of Jowetts in the world (well about 10 of them across the model range from 1910 - 1954) The location being 'Bradford Industrial Museum' - Apologies - anorak now put back in the cupboard :oops:

: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:
