'''JBW Cars''' was a British [[racing car]] manufacturer in the late 1950s, who were a [[Formula One]] [[List of Formula One constructors|constructor]] from {{F1|1959}} to 1961.

[[Brian Naylor (racing driver)|Brian Naylor]], an amateur driver from [[Stockport]], financed his mechanic Fred Wilkinson to build a number of sports cars that were competitive against second-level national fields but were not competitive on the international stage. As well as constructing their own sports racers, JBW also prepared and entered [[Cooper Car Company|Cooper]] single-seater racing cars for Naylor to drive in [[Formula Two]] and occasional [[Formula One]] events.

==Formula One==
Following two seasons competing in Formula Two races with the JBW [[Cooper T43]] and [[Cooper T45|T45]], Brian Naylor decided to enter Formula One proper in 1959. To achieve this Fred Wilkinson constructed a car — the '''JBW Type 1''' — that was strongly influenced by the contemporary Cooper designs, and carried its [[Maserati]] {{convert|2.5|L|cuin|abbr=on}} engine behind the driver. The first appearance of the JBW-Maserati was at the pre-season [[BRDC International Trophy]] non-Championship race at [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]], on 2 May 1959. Naylor arrived too late to post a qualifying time, and retired on lap 41 of the race with gearbox failure. On 18 July Naylor appeared in the JBW car at the [[1959 British Grand Prix]] at [[Aintree Circuit|Aintree]]. Although he managed to qualify ahead of such well known drivers as [[Tony Brooks (racing driver)|Tony Brooks]], [[Jack Fairman]] and [[Ivor Bueb]], again the JBW let Naylor down and the car's transmission failed on lap 18. One final outing that year resulted in a failure even to qualify, after Naylor suffered an accident during practice for the [[Oulton Park International Gold Cup|Gold Cup]] race at [[Oulton Park]] on 26 September.

The JBW Type 1 did not appear again until the following year's International Trophy race, on 14 May 1960. While Naylor and the JBW-Maserati qualified in 25th and last place, by the finish he had worked his way up to 11th position, the car lasting the distance for the first time in a competitive event. Unfortunately for Naylor, the first race of the {{F1|1960}} World Championship season, the [[1960 Monaco Grand Prix]], was not to provide such positive results and he once again failed to qualify. However, his next race, the [[1960 British Grand Prix]] provided Brian Naylor with his best ever Championship finish, after he came home in 13th place, having qualified in 18th place. His run of form continued at the Brands Hatch [[Silver City Trophy]] event on 1 August, where he finished 11th. Things appeared even to be looking up for the JBW team when Naylor qualified the JBW-Maserati in 7th position for the [[1960 Italian Grand Prix]] at [[Autodromo Nazionale Monza|Monza]], but his luck had begun to change and the car's gearbox failed on the 42nd lap. One further World Championship race (in the [[1960 United States Grand Prix|USA]]) and two non-Championship events in the remainder of the 1960 season all resulted in early retirements.

The JBW-Maserati had further outings in the 1961 [[Intercontinental Formula]] events, but on each occasion Naylor failed to finish. The car also ran with a 1.5-litre Maserati engine in some non-Championship events, but with no better result. For the {{F1|1961}} World Championship and most other Formula One events Naylor and Wilkinson decided to switch to [[Coventry Climax]] power, and redesigned the JBW car around their ''FPF'', {{convert|1.5|L|cuin|abbr=on}} [[straight-4]] motor. This new car — the '''JBW Type 2''' — made its first appearance at the [[British Empire Trophy]] race at Silverstone (ironically an Intercontinental Formula event), but failed to finish. It also failed to reach the finishing flag in its only World Championship event, the [[1961 Italian Grand Prix]], but only a week later provided Naylor with his best ever finish when he took 9th place in the [[1961 International Gold Cup]] at Oulton Park. Naylor only made one further appearance in the JBW-Climax, and retired on the first lap of the [[Brands Hatch]]-hosted [[Lewis-Evans Trophy]]. At the end of the 1961 season, and in increasingly poor health, Naylor retired from competition and wound up JBW Cars.
