Bowin Cars was an Australian designer and manufacturer of motor racing cars from 1968 to 1976. The company was founded by John Vincent Joyce (1938–2002), a successful designer and builder of racing cars and in later years gas appliances incorporating Low NOx Technology.[1]

Approximately ten racing cars were sold for export to Canada, New Zealand and South East Asia. Bowin Cars have raced successfully in these countries as well as Europe.

Models[edit]

All Bowin Cars started with the letter P, which simply stood for project.

Earlier Models[edit]

In fact, two Formula Juniors were designed and built by John Joyce prior to the formation of Bowin Cars.
