Jowett brothers William and Ben of Bradford, Yorkshire, built their first car in 1906 and went into production in 1910, building forty-eight cars by 1916. The factory then switched to munitions work during the First World War. Car production resumed in 1920 and sales went from strength to strength. The Thirties was a difficult period for Jowett: a fire destroyed the factory and almost the entire stock of new cars. The brothers then had to decide as to whether they should rebuild the factory or call it a day. Thankfully, they continued as many interesting models were produced during this decade. All Jowett cars and commercials built from the first prototype in 1906 were powered by the famous flat-twin engine known as ‘…the little engine with the big pull’. In 1935, the range was expanded to include a four-cylinder horizontally opposed engine and these two engines were used in various models until the Second World War.

All models produced during this decade are detailed with period anecdotes and illustrations as well as photographs of modern day survivors.
