Seventy-year-old cars will be spotted around Te Awamutu this Saturday and Sunday when the Jowett Car Club holds their weekend away.
Jowett cars were made in Bradford, England, from 1910 and continued until 1953.
The vehicles that will be remembered most in New Zealand are the Javelin Saloon, Jupiter sports
car and the little two-cylinder Bradford trucks and vans, all from the 48-53 era. All models had the trademark horizontally opposed engine.
The Jowett popularity was most prominent in 1951 and cars attending this weekend are from this era and are around 70 years old.
The weekend will consist of a visit to a car museum on the way down, lunch at the Punnet Café, a visit to a private car collection near Te Awamutu and a dinner.
