Re: Swiss Jupiter for sale
Looks a bit odd, doesn't it. Lights are too far out, bonnet is either a modification or replacement.
The additional boot looks like a useful space that otherwise isn't being used, and doesn't seem to interfere with the lines though.
The hood has got a flap coming down inside the window - perhaps fixed somehow to the quarterlight on the inside, hard to tell from the photos.
Is this car known to us? It's not the kind of car that you'd forget in a hurry if you'd seen it around.

It's a Rawson bodied car - I last saw this at the Pitlochry rally in 2000 I think
Rawson built about 4 I understand - one was for sale in Italy some time ago at a very high price and was white - look at Eds book page 115

Re: Swiss Jupiter for sale
Yes it is a Rawson-bodied Jupiter. It is in a collection which is being liquidated in Thessaloniki, Greece. Vendor is Swiss. It went out in 1998, would be nice if it comes back to the UK, it was in very good order when it went out to that collection
