Nobby sold Jet, Shell, Esso, Diesel, and Paraffin.
Other oil companies hated Jet because of its low price, they started rumours that it would ruin engines. I ran my Triumph 650 off it, and to prove them wrong, we took the cylinder heads of my bike, to have a look, it was as clean as a whistle inside, after near 8000 miles running on Jet.
Retlaw.
