Made by Jowett motors in Idle, Yorkshire along with a van of the same specification. 1008cc engine. 38241 vans + Pick ups produced . A van appears in the film Backbeat about the early carreer of the Beatles.

Initially only a 10 cwt van version was made but in 1947 it was joined by an estate car, the Utility This was little more than the van with side windows and rear seats. By 1951 the Utility was offered in two versions: Utility and Utility De Luxe, with the latter having better trim, including a rear bumper and side footsteps. Both utilities were also offered as a '4-light van', with windows but no rear seats, to avoid the high purchase tax on private cars. The Bradford was also manufactured as a light lorry, later described as a pick-up. Driveaway-chassis and cab-chassis versions were made for outside coachbuilders in which form it sold in large numbers both at home and abroad.

A Utility de-luxe tested by the British magazine The Motor in 1952 had a top speed of 53.4 mph and could accelerate from 0-50 mph in 47.6 seconds. A fuel consumption of 34.5 miles per imperial gallon was recorded. The test car cost £740 including taxes. The de-luxe specification, which consisted of trafficators, dual windscreen wipers, running boards, a rear bumper and some chromium plating, added £38 to the total cost
