An advert that appeared in the Bradford Telegraph and Argus on 12 May 1922. From this came the Southern Jowett Car Club, to which the present club can trace its ancestry. The Southern Jowett Car Club held its first rally on 26 August 1923.

The car in the logo from a period photograph taken in 1923 on the Scottish Tests rally is a 1923 Short Two that is still alive and well. Click on the logo to see a high definition image.
