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

Throughout the year we also have

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 .
