In this episode of Backseat Driver, I sit down with Chris Spencer at the Bradford Industrial Museum for an engaging conversation about the legacy of Jowett cars. Our chat begins with memories of our previous meeting at Le Mans. Chris earned a remarkable position at the Le Mans Classic event, a testament to his expertise and passion for these classic vehicles.

Chris shares insights into the unique challenges the Jowett car community faced, both historically and today. We also delve into his work with Flat Cap Classic Cars, his restoration business dedicated to preserving these engineering marvels, and the upcoming Jowett Car Club's 100th-anniversary celebration—a milestone in classic car history.

This episode combines nostalgic stories with technical details to celebrate Jowett's contributions to automotive innovation and its enduring impact on car enthusiasts and racers alike.
