What's New?
  • The first edition of this site was published at the end of January 2002.
  • In the summer of 2002, I decided that the body of the car that I had originally purchased was beyond economic repair. This was after I had completely stripped it down and gone to the trouble and expense of moving it to our new house in South Western Ontario!
  • In November 2002 I reported here that the only prospect for continuing with a Javelin restoration would be to acquire another car.
  • In March 2003 I did acquire what I believe to be the only other Javelin in Eastern Canada, and the body of my original car was duly disposed of for scrap.
  • In April 2003 I reported on the new car and how its acquisition has modified my planned restoration strategy.
  • The site was revised in October 2003, after most of the mechanical aspects of the restoration had been completed and as emphasis was again being directed to the body.
  • Minor updates were made in in early March 2004 to report on work done over the winter.
  • This edition of the site was published in October 2004 at a time when I consider that the restoration is complete. All applicable pages have been updated and a new page providing pictures of the completed car has been added.  No further updates to the site are envisioned!

Current Issues/Questions

Current issues that I particularly invite you to contact me and comment on include:

  • I believe the car is now in sound mechanical shape and only a few improvements are planned at present, such as adding a coolant expansion tank and further upgrading the air filter.  The cosmetics of the car are such that I’m not planning on anything further in that area at this time.
  • For the time being, I intend to document issues relating to performance through the Discussion Forum that can be found on the official Jowett Car Club website.
  • Nevertheless, please don’t hesitate to contact me with your comments and any questions or suggestions.
