I spotted that too. Without being disloyal, it has to be said that the Alfa is considerably more elegant. Was the Jupiter a particularly difficult chassis to body successfully? I expect it was considerably different to what most UK coachbuilders were familiar with. And full-width bodies were a novelty at that time too...
