The Jowett Jupiter is a British sports car which was produced by Jowett Cars Ltd of Idle, near Bradford.
Following the launch of the all new Jowett Javelin[6] and its successes in competition, Jowett decided to use its power train in a sports car for export in the hope of increasing their inadequate steel allocation.
The chassis only was displayed in October at the London Motor Show which opened 28 September 1949 and the complete car for the first time in New York in April 1950.[7][8] Again the chassis only was given its continental launch at the Geneva Motor Show which opened 16 March 1950. Initially the car was known as the Jowett Javelin Jupiter however the Javelin part of the name was dropped in February 1951.[1] It continued in production until 1954.
