	ambled along pictures a couple of glorious looking jowetts , so i thought i would chuck them in here as there seems to be a lot of love for the marque off the back of grumpy northerner's amazing threads. i know very little about them barring the green roadster is a "homage" of the design for a jupiter mk2 that never made it to production before the company folded (i could be talking out of my tail pipe though). i am sure when he is back from his jollies and has a spare moment that chris will elaborate for us.

	These are sweet cars mate. I am sure that Grumpy would love to have that set in his shed. ( I do too...)

	Many thanks - the green car is has stated a replica of the planned Jupiter replacement before the factory closed - looks ok in the pics but in my book is quite poorly executed - look at the offside rear wheel arch that is more of a hexagon than the swept radius it should be - the windscreen is from a Jaguar XK120 and is a poor fit - many, many other points would make it hard for me to live with - However the special bodied Jupiter in white was undertaken in period when the car was new by 'Sommer' a Danish coach builder - the car is unique however circa 75 Jupiter chassis were supplied to various coachbuilding companies for them to build their own custom bodies to - The Sommer Jupiter would be a very welcome addition to my fleet if the opportunity ever arose
