It is a non-runner and isstrictly sold as seen.The Jowett Bradford was a British light vanproduced from 1946 to 1953 by Jowett Cars Ltd of Idle, near Bradford andwas one of the most popular light commercial vehicles of the post-war period. It wasalso offeredas an estate car, the Utility (in effect, little more than the van with side windows and rear seats) from 1947 to 1953. Based on the pre-war Jowett Eight, the 10cwt van was the first Jowett to be re-introduced after the Second World War and, in spite of being very basic, itappealed to the post-war market because of its economy,strength and reliability and the simple fact that they were available. The chassis featured half-elliptic leaf springs front and rear supporting beam axles and was quite light which was fortunate as it waspowered by a 1007cc front-mounted, side valve flat-twin engine delivering a heady 19bhp drivingthe rear wheels through a three-speed, non-synchromesh gearbox. The 10in drum brakes were operated mechanically using a Girling system.In 1950, the engine was updated to give 25bhp, improving the top speed to 53mph andsynchromesh was fitted to the top ratio. A De-Luxe specification was also available which includedtrafficators, dual windscreen wipers, running boards, a rear bumper and some chromium plating, adding 38 to the total cost. It remained in production until 1953 and during the, relatively short, seven-year production run, 38,241 examples were made. Sadly, after years of lying empty, the Jowett Bradford works was demolished in 1983.Dating from 1952, this Bradford Utility appears to be a De Luxe with chrome radiator, headlights, front bumper, twin wipers and trafficators although the side-steps and rear bumper are not present. It's finished in an attractive shade of Mustard and has clearly been restored at some point but there is no paperwork with the car. The odometer reads 15,708 miles. Currently a non-runner but rolls quite freely and it doesn't look as though it would take much to turn it into a decent 'show' car.1952 Jowett Bradford Utility De Luxehttps://youtu.be/C3qYfixp2K4true
