The PreWarCar website has this rather wonderful Salmson Grand Sport for sale in Portugal, which I was drooling over when I spotted a Jupiter in the background of the pictures:

Does anyone know the car? It seems to be right-hand-drive and to have rather more louvres than usual in the bonnet (I expect due to the pleasantly-warm climate). Could it be the one that did well in local competitions in period?

Re: Jupiter in Portugal
Nice Salmson! If it's what I'm looking at, it looks more like an Aston Martin DB2 convertible - but I might be wrong.

Re: Jupiter in Portugal
I know of several Jupiters in Portugal and at least one restored Jupiter with green bodywork
