  Jowett Javelin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jowett Javelin was an award-winning British car that was produced from 1947 to 1953 by Jowett of Bradford.
The car was designed by Gerald Palmer during World War II and was intended to be a major leap forward following the rather staid designs of pre-war Jowetts.
The flat four overhead valve engine of 1486 cc with a compression ratio of 7.2:1 was water-cooled and had an aluminium block and wet cylinder liners.

Changes at Jowett were slow in coming and so by 1931 there was a wider and stiffer chassis and the saloon bodies were fabric covered although 4-wheel brakes had been fitted since 1929.
Gerald's initial response was that the offer was not sufficiently attractive because Jowett did not have the facilities to produce the unitary construction bodies that were already the basis of all mass produced cars.
It was finally agreed that the new car would continue the Jowett tradition of a flat engine of 4-cylinders improved by overhead valves and with the capacity increased to 1,486cc.

 A Remark by Benjamin Jowett   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The choice of Jowett, one of the major Oxford figures of his age, makes a much more specific point, since Jowett, who is today most famous for his graceful translations of Plato, was hardly a philistine.
At various times Master of Balliol, Regius Professor of Greek, and Vice Chancellor of the University, Jowett was an enormously influential religious liberal and Broad Church Anglican.
From the vantage point of the aesthetic value of the Grail legend, this plate therefore mocks Jowett; but from the vantage point of Beerbohm's own modern approach to belief, it mocks the Pre-Raphaelite and Rossettian longing for mystery.
