"It was the wrong car at the wrong time."

I don't think it's a very good analysis of the eventual failure of Jowett.

My simplistic view is that it was a clever design that was initially in popular demand but it was plagued by catastrophic mechanical failures and the company just wasn't big enough to ride out the storm.
