 JBA Javelin

 

 

A Year in The Life of Alex Sargent's 
 JBA Javelin V8.

 Alex bought the Javelin in the middle of 2000.

 

 Since then he refurbished the Javelin completely.

During 2001 he has attended a few shows in Scotland. The JBA Javelin drew a lot of attention from the crowds. You can see some pictures of the shows below.

But what is he up to this winter. The Javelin is in the garage, hibernating no, it is once again under major surgery.

Now the engine is out again. For major improvements for next season.

Alex has decided to fit a Fuel Injected V8.
Running on LPG gas.

 

 

The first photos show the engine and the second the cleaning of the parts.

 

Alex is never daunted by these major tasks, in fact he loves it.

However I am a bit confused by this photo.

Why should you need an L plate Alex?.


 

Also on the agenda is changing the gearbox clutch mechanism to cable operation, as the hydraulic does not seem to work well enough. Alex is also thinking of changing the gearbox to a Ford 5 speed. 

More details from Alex to follow as work progresses.

Below The Runs in 2001.

Vintage Bus Museum at Dunfermline on June 17th.2001.

Alex's first run was to a show at Dunfermline.

The Javelin drew quite a large crowd  Especially when as it was fitted with a V8. engine.

 

 

Strathalan County Park 28th.July 2001.

 

This show being a Ford show brought even more attention to the car than the first show. 

The public were all over the car as many of them have never seen, let alone heard of a JBA Javelin.

The fact it is build No 1 and is fitted with a V8 Engine also helped pull in the crowds.

Another great show with a large selection of many different types and age of cars to see.

Gullane Games Week

 

This is a new show, started just this year 2001.and is looking forward to growing in the next few years.

The show was attended by some very rare and unusual cars which are very rarely seen.

Alex would like to see more of these shows and others, if only to keep the shows alive. Photo below.

 

 

Chatelherault Country Park Hamilton. 26th.August 2001.

 

No.1 on it's own. Alex arrived early.

 

There was a JBA Falcon present.

I don't know who belongs it Alex.

This show  was another great success all classes of cars were there
they even had a large separate field for right up to date modern cars
with all there mod-cons, body-kits and ICE systems  that the modern day car enthusiasts go for.

 

Alex was well pleased with the turnout at Chatelherault.

Wish I had been there to see this beautiful Humber Super Snipe of the 50s vintage.
