There are also several small compartments that were intended to be ashtrays when the car was manufactured. A solid tool kit in a specially designed box in the trunk. The spare wheel is located under the trunk floor, which means there is plenty of space for luggage instead. Interior trunk lighting.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Engine and transmission are in good condition. The engine has been recently serviced, and new tires have been installed.
There is a minor exhaust leak just in front of the rear axle. The speedometer needle flutters, and the temperature gauge does not work, but there are no issues with engine temperature.
The current owner has taken care of the car by renovating the water pump, replacing all water hoses, changing the starter relay, and renewing all rubber parts in the brake system. The oils have been changed in the engine, gearbox, and rear axle, and a new battery has been installed. -

The leather upholstery is in good patinated condition, as seen in the pictures. The headliner is also in good condition. The upper part of the dashboard has some surface cracks. The condition of the steering is unknown.
-
Exterior condition
In very good overall condition for regular use, with some minor paint damage and damage as shown in the picture. The shiny parts are mostly in good condition for everyday use, as is the rest of the body. The hubcaps have some pitting in the chrome. The window seals on the doors are in poor condition. Please refer to the pictures. The extra light has cracked glass.

A very pleasant and well-maintained car that is roadworthy. An advanced and enjoyable design from the early 1950s. It's easy to forget that it's 73 years old.

Facts about the model
With its self-supporting body, front-engine layout, independent front suspension, and torsion bars all around, it was a highly advanced family car that received a lot of praise in the press for its performance and handling. This also translated into success in the rally competitions of the time. An early example won its class in the Monte Carlo Rally as early as 1949, and in 1952, a Javelin secured a class victory in the RAC Rally.
