Javelin

Javelin Sports Cars Ltd was a British specialist car manufacturer. The company focused on producing traditional British-style sports cars, marketed as modern equivalents of the classic lightweight roadster. Its main product was the Javelin Cabrio, a two-seat open sports car offered in several evolutions.

The original Cabrio was succeeded by a long-wheelbase Mk2, and later by the Mk3 Cabrio, which used BMW donor mechanicals while retaining body engineering by Marlin Cars Ltd. Earlier Mk1 and Mk2 cars also traced their engineering roots to Marlin, but Javelin progressively rebranded and developed the model under its own identity. The Cabrio was positioned as a hand-built enthusiast’s car, with the styling and driving experience of a classic British roadster but updated with modern running gear.

Javelin Sports Cars remained active into the late 2000s. However, the company was dissolved in 2010.
