The Hawk was just about to crack open his third round of corn beef and piccalilli sarnies when he saw this little beauty at the first vintage vehicle rally of the season, held at the Amberley Industrial Museum in West Sussex. Proud owners Geoff and Cheryl Stannard from Ashford In Middlesex are seen here showing off their 1954 Jowatt, which is believed to be unique. The little truck was first registered in Wales where it worked as a coal lorry; later it was used for transporting furniture.
Geoff, who is a plumber, bought the vehicle 12 years ago and completely stripped and rebuilt it himself. Now that he has restored it to pristine condition he and Cheryl have recently set off on their biggest adventure yet—touring the entire coastline of Britain. Naturally they will be stopping off en-route in Scotland to take part in the National Jowatt Rally.
Could there be a more civilised way to see our sceptred isle? I think not. If anyone knows of other unique little numbers such as this please let us know.
