Although the guide price is not on currently stated on the Hereford vintage auction website - the car / auction has been advertised on the website carandclassic - the link is posted below - guide price is listed at £15,000 - which in my book it stands a very fair chance of - I could see it readily reaching the low £20k's - although a one off - it is on the fringe of being a ugly duckling - although that in it's self makes it quite attractive - if you catch my drift

I think it looks good, it has a bit of Aston Martin DB2/3 styling to that front grille and bonnet scoop, which might interest some buyers that otherwise wouldn't consider a Jupiter.

It will be an interesting sale, but less than £15K and I'd consider it a bargain.

Jack - Most auctions will kick off at the lower guide price on something like this - you would not buy this at less than £15k - they only start under the guide price if there is no interest - my guess is that it has a minimum £17 - £18K reserve on it

I hope whoever buys it keeps it! - I've lost count of how many times this car has changed hands in recent years! I think its a good looking car but dont think the colour really suits it.

You might find that it is a little small as a home for you, two cats and Jack. But sure sell the flat and move in.

That we should take the cats out in the car with us? I do hope so, otherwise the money for rebuilding cars might get a bit short! Plus I'm not sure Keith is ready to be a grandfather just yet. He'd have to act all grown up, and we know how likely that is! :roll:
