The Jowett Motor Company was originally founded in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire by brothers Benjamin and William. The Jowett brothers began trading in 1901 and they produced both cars and commercials which were designed for the steep hills and sharp bends of the Yorkshire Woollen towns and Yorkshire Dales. Jowett used aluminium extensively and their vehicles were light, low-geared, reliable and competitively priced. They favoured the ability to climb over speed.

This 1934 Jowett Kestrel presents well in dark green and black coachwork following an earlier restoration. On a recent inspection the car started first time and we are told that this rare British classic runs well. Its lightweight construction contributes to agile handling, making it popular among enthusiasts. With a combination of elegance and practicality, the Kestrel embodies the innovation of the 1930s automotive industry, standing out as a charming piece of automotive history. This Jowett Kestrel is available due to the unfortunate passing of its enthusiast owner and Jowett aficionado. Offered without reserve this is an ideal addition to any collection.
