Jowett Seven

Jowett started with a flat twin engine of 816cc 6hp, which was enlarged to 7hp and 907cc in 1921. Moving to Idle near Bradford, the little engine was the only one made by Jowett until the end of the 1930s and the Jowett Seven gained popularity for its cheapness, lightness, and durability. Initially the Seven was available as the standard (short) Seven and later as the Long Seven with longer wheelbase. Named versions appeared in the 1930s such as Grey Knight, Black Prince, Blackbird, Flying Fox and Weasel. In 1937 the 7hp engine was enlarged to 946cc in 1937 and the new 'Eight' took over from the Seven.
