Is there any documentary evidence that this vehicle was called the Jowett Bradford? Two of the sources stated identify the vehicle simply as a Bradford, and one of these has separate entries for "Jowett" and "Bradford". Photographs of the badge above the radiator grille show the badge saying "Bradford" rather than "Jowett".
It is documented that Bradfords were built by Jowett, but I do not know if it is documented that they were sold under the Jowett name. After all, Bedfords were made by Vauxhall, but were never called Vauxhall Bedfords (although, unless I'm mistaken, the first Bedfords were called Chevrolet Bedfords).
Can a source be found to show that these were marketed and sold as Jowett Bradfords and not just Bradfords? If not, or if a source can be found that unequivocally states that they were not marketed or sold as Jowett Bradfords, should we not move the article to "Bradford (vehicle)" or some similar title?

Bradford (vehicle) – The current title, Jowett Bradford, would be correct according to
WP:WPAC if "Jowett" were the make/marque/brand and "Bradford" were a model name. However, there are three indications that the make/marque/brand is actually "Bradford" and not "Jowett":
Based on these, I argue that Bradford is actually the make/marque/brand of the vehicle and therefore the title should not include the name "Jowett".
Further, the title "Bradford (vehicle)" is chosen over " Bradford (automobile)" because the Bradford was primarily a van or a pickup and only one model, the Bradford Utility, was a passenger car. Sincerely, SamBlob ( talk) 13:37, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
