BowinCars:About
From BowinCars
This site is run by Ashley Joyce, the youngest son of the late John Joyce (founder of Bowin Cars).
"This site has been created as a special tribute to my father's life-long work in the field of design and engineering."
John earned his place as one of Australia's great design genius's. He is probably best known for foundingBowin Cars, a very successful Australian formula racing car company in the late 60's and 70's. He also went on to become a leading appliance designer and manufacturer, with his most notible achievement being the development of the first ever gas-fired Ultra
LO-NOx burner.
John Joyce the Motor Mechanic, was passionate about cars even in his early years. |
Lotus Europa John was responsible for much of the aerodynamic design of the Lotus Europa, recognised as one of the cleanest cars in the world. |
The Designer John spent countless hours perfecting his racing car designs. You would often hear him say, how he first liked to visualize his ideas in his mind, before putting pen to paper. |
Low NOx Burner John being highly commended by his peers at an AGL Award Ceremony in honour of his achievements into Gas Burner Design. |
The purpose of this website is to create a place where Bowin Car enthusiasts can come and easily find all the information they could possibly wish to know about Bowin Cars. I would also in encourage Bowin Car enthusiasts to register and become a member of this site so they can share with others by contributing their own wealth of knowledge.
Probably the most important and significant resource on the site is the huge catalogue of historical technical drawings of all the Bowin Car Parts, which can be found in the Drawing Section.
