yrs
The Northern Branch of the Jowett
Car Club of New Zealand is a friendly group whose interests are
centred around Jowett vehicles. We invite interested persons to join.
You don't have to have a Jowett, we can soon find one for you! You'll
find it relatively inexpensive for such an interesting classic
vehicle. The club has a full supply of New and 2nd Hand Parts, and
members are very helpful with restoration assistance and advice.
Enquiries about
Northern Branch and Activities:
If you are interested in getting
to meet the members, or learn about or see Jowetts come along to the
weekly 'Shed Night', or would like to join us on a club run or

Throughout the year we also have
several 'non official'
events and get togethers, ranging from helping members get 'wrecks'
home, to impromptu club displays at vintage steam shows and other
classic car club shows .

This is the major Auckland display for Classic Cars of our era. It
also doubles up as our Club Pride of Ownership event, for The Christie
Cup.
The Jowett Car Club traditionally has strong numbers at this display.
Will your Jowett be there?
Will we get a new
record 30 cars? Two Javelins are in the process of being brought back
from the dead and another three under going paint jobs. Will they be
ready? The Club car will be there for the first time. If you have more
than one Jowett how about a friend or another member assisting with
the other car?
Bring a picnic lunch and your Jowett and enjoy a relaxed day
and see many other cars of a similar era to
ours.
Cars in place by 9.15am please.
Let’s welcome
out of town members. If you need a place to stay for this weekend,

North Shore Aero Club Open Day:
26th February North Shore airfield
Running from 10am until 4pm.
There will be aircraft of all kinds, including classics from the past,
flying displays and aerobatics. The event is registered with the CAA
and there will be the opportunity to take flights on the day.
The aeroclub committee is cordially inviting select classic car clubs
and individuals with classic cars to attend the airfield on this day
and enjoy the atmosphere.
This is not a formal Jowett event but you are welcome to attend and
will get in free and be right
on the airfield itself if your are in a Jowett
Parking for non-classic cars will be across the road in a field set
aside for parking and a charge of $2.
Classic cars will be directed through another entrance directly onto
the airfield to places set aside for them.
I would very much appreciate it if you would be intested in bringing
some cars along.
The public will be invited to enter the event from 10am, so to run
things smoothly, it would be great if you could arrive before 09:30
am, although you would be welcome any time.
