One of only five known examples of this model, one of which is in New Zealand. Launched at the 1936 Paris Motor Show, these were the first cars to have the Triumph designed and built G15 engine. A four cylinder O. H. V. engine developing 62 bhp. @ 4,500 rpm, capable of cruising at over 70 mph. And having a top speed in excess of 90 mph. It is interesting to note that these cars, as did all Triumphs since 1926, sported lockheed hydraulic brakes on all four wheels.

Hydraulic dampers were optional to the Andre type.This example required a complete ash frame as the pictures show. New wings and running boards have been made, the doors reskinned in aluminium, and when the body restoration is complete the interior will be re-trimmed in connelly hide. 

This is a very early example of this popular little sports car. Nearly 49,000 of these cars were built, but sadly they are quite a rare sight on the roads today. This car required a complete rebuild. All the floor and structural sections have been replaced, as have the sills and rear wheel arches. The owner chose Healey Dark Green (GN12) as the finish colour, and the interior has been re-trimmed in green as original. The engine has been rebuilt with a stage 2 head and fast road cam as per the owners instructions. The time taken for this restoration was ten weeks.

These cars epitomise the sixties sports car. 13,650 mk. ones were produced over a two year period out of a total 3000 production of 42,616 over nine years. Most were produced in left hand drive form for the American market.
This example is left hand drive, and we were commissioned by another classic car company to completely restore this car to show standard. They exhibited it at the Classic Car Show in Birmingham, from where it was sold for £24,000. £10,000 more that a left hand drive would normally achieve in the U.K.

This model was popularised by the sixties television program 'The Saint'. 3000 carburettor models were produced over a ten year period before they were superseded by the fuel injected'E'. All parts are available for these cars, but they corrode very badly and the spares are expensive. They remain however very popular, and we have two under restoration at present for clients.
This car is a car local to us, and has been in the same ownership for over 30 years. When it came to us for restoration it had been unused for many years and had no floors at all! Mechanically it was very sound requiring only a clutch, servo and fuel pump, but most of the body had to be replaced. The interior was retrimmed at the same time, and now the owner has a very useable modern classic, very capable of keeping up with the demands of modern motoring.

95,000 of these popular cars were produced during six years. They achieved success in sport and featured in many sixties and seventies adverts. They competed well in the marketplace with their competitors and still are a very stylish period sports car.
This example looked well and drove when it came to us, but when the paint and underseal was removed another story unfolded. Fibre glass everywhere! The chassis was rebuilt and the floors extensively repaired. The wings were replaced as was the screen frame. She was finished in red and retrimmed inside to match and a new hood fitted. 

These cars were based on the Triumph Super Series, either the 9 or the 10 depending on the year. (Later ones were based on the Triumph Gloria). They were fitted with a Coventry Climax engine, and were in a higher state of tune than the Super Series. They came in two or four seater form and as a Sports Coupe or Roadster. According to the Motor road report of that year they had a top speed of 82 mph! And a 0-60 time of 32 seconds!
This car is based on a Super 9 chassis, and has the 10.8 hp. Engine. It started life as a 2 door 4 seat coupe, the body was cut down in the 1950 s to make a hill climb car, when it had served its purpose it was abandoned. It was discovered in a garage in Birmingham by a club member who decided to have it restored as a tourer. There are only two other tourers of this type and year known to the register and both of these have different bodies. This car was in particularly poor condition, and virtually every moving part was worn out. Even the steering wheel had to be reconditioned.
As the pictures show we have made a new ash frame and complete body in aluminium. We had only a sales brochure and some very old photographs to work from, and all showed different body styles. The owner has chosen a period body colour, maroon and black, and the interior is trimmed in reddish brown leather with black carpet.

Jowett were a small volume producer based in Yorkshire, all the designs were their own and they did not use components from other manufacturers. They produced interesting, quality vehicles from the mid 1920s until their premature closure in 1954. Their closure is rather a sad tale, the body panels for their vehicles were made by Pressed Steel Fisher, a company which was bought by Ford, Jowett, being a small producer were unable to cope with the quantities which Ford expected them to take, so sadly they closed.
The Jupitor is a well equipped sports model, having a light aluminium body on a steel frame, and shares the same engine as the Javelin saloon. The engine is a water cooled flat four, and the car has a top speed of 75 mph. 
This particular car had suffered corrosion where the two metals came into contact with each other, and so restoration work had to be carried out to both frame and body. She was originally white but the owner decided on red as the new colour. The interior has been retrimmed in cream connolly hide and a cream hood fitted.
