The Branches 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 Branches 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 event Contact closest branch on 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
