1950 JOWETT JAVELIN Registration: LXC 164 Chassis No: E0PB11203D Engine No: E0PB11203D Odometer: 49137 The Bradford based company of Jowett embarked upon car manufacture in 1906 and rapidly built up a reputation for well-engineered, robust cars which were particularly notable for their hill climbing ability and rugged qualities.

However, the best remembered nowadays are almost certainly the stylish Javelin Saloon and its sporting counterpart, the Jupiter. The Jowett caused a sensation when it launched the revolutionary Javelin in 1947.

Unitary construction of the all-steel, four-door, saloon body; independent front suspension; torsion bar springing; and rack-and-pinion steering were all features of a design rivalling the most advanced cars from Continental Europe. Certainly, its performance stands comparison with many 1½-litre cars thirty years its junior and, indeed, the Javelin was the best performing 1½-litre saloon of its day. The horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine - a type Jowett had used prewar - displaced 1.5 litres and produced 50bhp, an output sufficient to give the aerodynamic Javelin a top speed of around 80mph, allied to extremely good fuel consumption, with around 30-32mpg being the norm. The Javelin also achieved several competition successes, including a class win in the 1949 Monte Carlo Rally whilst another example won the two-litre Touring Car Class at the Spa 24-Hour race in the same year. The 1953 International Tulip Rally saw an outright win for a privately entered Javelin. Production ceased just before Jowett’s demise in 1954, by which time a little over 23,000 cars had been completed.

2

This 1950 Jowett Javelin saloon was purchased by the late Mr. Harry Clark in 2011 who sent the car to local specialists The Classic Car Workshop Ltd for an engine overhaul to be carried out. From the history file, it can be seen that the Javelin received mechanical work and some body renovation before being repainted in the early 1990’s. Last taxed and probably used in 2015, the car has been kept in dry storage, which has kept it in reasonable condition and it would only need minor recommissioning to put it back on the road. This Jowett would benefit from a small amount of restoration to the paintwork above the rear wings, under the windscreen and it needs a new windscreen rubber and the interior woodwork re-polished. The overall condition is good and appears sound

with the light brown interior being in very good order. Finished in lime green, this Jowett Javelin is supplied with a current V5C registration form, an original handbook, a maintenance manual and a file containing invoices and old MoT test certificates going back to the early 1990’s. This rare Jowett, with its unique engine layout for a post war car, is a good, low cost, entry to classic car ownership and, with its sporting heritage, would be a welcome addition to classic car events and rallies around the country.

Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition prior to the sale. Buyers are advised to inspect the car in person or use a professional to carry out this service. £4000 - 8000

1929 DAIMLER 20/70 TYPE M SALOON Registration: EC8950 Chassis No: 31186 Engine No: 53847 Odometer: 54412 One of the founding firms of the British motor industry, Daimler was part of the expanding BSA group by 1911. By this time the adoption of the refined ‘Silent Knight’ sleeve-valve engine had done much to turn around the company’s fortunes and establish Daimler as a marque committed to engineering excellence, a policy which continued in the 1920s with the introduction of the ‘Double-Six’ Britain’s first V12. Its traditional characteristics had long endeared the marque to the nobility and indeed, in pre-war years, the company’s products were preferred by the British Royal Family to those of rival Rolls-Royce. Daimler introduced a new range of long-stroke, sleeve-valve sixes for 1926, their combination of steel sleeves and light-alloy pistons making for appreciably livelier performance. Offered in a variety of wheelbase lengths, the 16/55hp, 20/70hp and 25/85hp chassis began to attract an increasing proportion of owner-driver coachwork. The 16/55 and 20/70 lasted in production until 1930 and the 25/85 for a further year. Precise production figures are not known.

This lovely 1929 Daimler 20/70 Type M saloon was purchased by the late Mr. Harry Clark in 1978 from Mr. William Cameron Bell of Penrith, Cumbria. Little is known of the early history of this car but, in 2011, Mr. Clark had the car taken to local specialist The Classic Car Workshop Ltd where, over the next three years, a cosmetics restoration and work to the engine and electrics were carried out.

This included stripping and repainting the bodywork in black and royal blue, sandblasting and repainting the wheel and fitting new tyres, fitting a new fabric roof, reconditioning the radiator and overhauling the nickel plated Rotax lights to the outside of the car. Under the bonnet, the engine was checked through with the heads removed and refitted to stop water leaks. Wiring was replaced to get the lights working and the magneto and dynamo were sent away for specialist

overhaul before being refitted to the car. In 2014 it was ready, and the engine was reported to be running well. It is unknown the last time the car was started but we can state that the engine is free and turns easily. The dark blue leather interior is in good condition throughout with a number of the original interior features in good working order; these include a rear blind to the rear window, cloth grab handles to the rear compartment and a net storage above the front seats.

This Daimler is supplied with a recent history file containing invoices and photographs of the restoration. It also comes with a blue V5C registration document, a post-1949 buff log book, an original handbook and oil chart. In the pre-war years, the Daimler was the preferred means of transport for the Royal family and this vehicle lives up to their high expectations of style and comfort and would grace any small or large collection as being a good example of the Daimler 20/70 Type M. Please note it is unknown the last time the engine was run since 2014 and we would recommend that the mechanics are fully checked through before use.

Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition prior to the sale. Buyers are advised to inspect the car in person or use a professional to carry out this service. £15000 - 20000

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS 1.

2.

3.

Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers of Thomas Watson Auctioneers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our saleroom or online only bidding platform. All sales are conducted according to our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection in person, on our website and normally accompany catalogues.

Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand.

Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price or may be above the reserve price. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium of 25%. Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.

Buyer’s Premium. The Conditions of Sale oblige buyers to pay a buyer’s premium of 25% on the hammer price of each lot purchased.

5.

VAT. The addition of (*) of (VAT applied on hammer price) to the lot description indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate, presently 20%, on the hammer price as well as being payable on the buyer’s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicated that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the premium is not recoverable as input tax.

Artist’s Resale Rights/Droit de Suite.

Lots as indicated in the catalogue and if sold for the equivalent of 1,000 Euros or more on the day of the auction will be subject to a further percentage of the hammer price as follows: From 0 to 50,000 Euros subject to 4% From 50,001 to 200,000 Euros subject to 3% From 200,001 to 350,000 Euros subject to 1% From 350,0001 to 500,000 Euros subject to 0.5% Exceeding 500,000 Euros subject to 0.25%

Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.

4.

86

6.

The Artist’s Resale Right payable will be the aggregate of the amounts payable under the above rate bands, subject to maximum royalty payable of 12,500 Euros for any single work each time it is sold. Calculations of the artist’s resale right will be based on the pound sterling/Euro reference exchange rate quoted on the date of sale by the European Central Bank.

7.

Agents. We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale.

Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order.

Additionally, in specified circumstances lots mis-described because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a three week time limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale).

8.

Electrical Goods. These are sold as ‘antiques’ or ‘decorative’ items only and if bought for use must first be checked for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician.

9.

Coloured Gems. It is common practice for gemstones to be treated in order to enhance colour and clarity. Unless stated buyers should presume coloured stones may well have been exposed to some sort of treatment.

10. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory.

11. Bidding. Bidders are required to register with us before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification may be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding.

12. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding the buyers’ premium.

They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids.

Buyers are welcome to make an appointment to view any lots listed on an online auction. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion.

Thomas Watsons will not be held responsible for any damage or defect that has not been notified to the buyer. Catalogue illustrations are for guidance only and will not convey full information as to the actual condition of lots. (c) Where the term (a/f ) is used this refers to a lot being ‘as found’, it is used for guidance only and indicates in our opinion there is significant damage or repair to an item and Thomas Watsons are not liable for the omission of this term. (d) Private treaty sales made on these premises under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for the purpose of consumer legislation.

15. Forgeries.

Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying if from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects.

Thomas Watsons may require the buyer to obtain at the buyer’s cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Thomas Watsons and the buyer, if we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) if you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition.

The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.

General.

16. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.

17.

20. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the catalogue.

21. Any indulgence extended to bidders or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect.
