This 1932 Junior 8hp Saloon was formerly under the custodianship of Allan Jones who acquired the car in 1985. It was languishing in a council lockup, partly, but badly restored; so much needed to be done. Allan was lucky enough to make contact with another Junior owner, Ken Mellor, who lived just a few miles away, and Ken helped enormously with the engineering side of the restoration. Allan painted the car in his driveway, re-trimmed the interior and had all the chrome re-plated He was also helped by corresponding with a previous owner, John
Budge, who had himself restored the car as much as post war austerity would allow. John had used the car as his main transport through to the mid’ 60s and had done nearly100,000miles in it. Allan took the car to rallies and shows for many years and earned him “First in Class” and “Highly Commended” at local shows in the summer of 1993. However he was fairly restricted on distance in view of limited speed and power of the Junior. As you can see, the restoration has also withstood the test of time and still looks immaculate. Allan’s car featured on the front cover of the August1993 ’The Automobile’ magazine and was the subject of a five-page article
