Another film from Penman's link. It takes a while to load.

This film is one of many made about the Jowett Car Club by various individuals and organisations over several decades, going back to the early 1950s and covering each decade up to 1984. This film was made by Jowett car enthusiast and Club Officer Keith Wear, assisted by Colin and Ian Egglestone. The Jowett Car Club has built up a sizeable collection of films in an Archive of which Keith is the Film Librarian. Keith can be seen in the opening sequence leaving the offices of the former Jowett Cars Ltd factory in the Javelin at Idle, Bradford. This film of the National Jowett Rally of 29th May 1983 is representative of many of these films. There is also a film from 1927 of a demonstration of Jowett vehicles as being suitable for military purposes because of their lightness and gripping qualities when driving through mud. _________________ http://www.nostalgiatech.co.uk

Opportune moment to post this Peter. The Jowett Car Club has just celebrated 100 years of Jowett Cars, with a major Rally again in Yorkshire. 164 Jowett vehicles of all ages attended - including several in the footage seen here.
This year's event was recorded on DVD. One thing that seems unchanged is the weather, but whilst the 1983 event celebrated in the rain in Saltaire, we did it in the rather more picturesque surroundings of the Peak district., However we did enjoy glorious sunshine for the static display day at Cannon Hall near Barnsley.
