Mr Wisdom and Mr Wise.
And the Jowett Javlin Jupiter car which they drove , and won 1st place in the Le Mans International 24 hour Sports Car Race, in the one and a half litre class.
It broke the class record at an average speed for the whole 12 hour race of 75.8 m.p.h.
The first time the Jupiter had entered the race. ( I think this was in 1950)
What a wonderful car!
How it shined in the sunshine.
You can see the reflections of the blue sky and clouds.
Today was the Jowett owners club reunion rally at the Bradford Industrial Museum, and we went along to take a look.
What a wonderful collection of these classic cars. All made in Bradford, and so beautifully looked after by their owners.
more photos here on my Blipfolio
We also had a look round the museum, which I haven't done for many years.
Must be getting old as some of the exhibits are of things I remember, like the last trolley bus!!
What a great day out, and in nice sunny weather too.
Not sure what Hurricane Bertha is going to throw at us tomorrow!!
