E1 SB 175R

Shipped 27 August 1951 to Cia Melhoramentos, Sao Paolo. Colours Copper with beige upholstery. We know that “SB” = “SAL” and some early LHD Jupiters had SB instead of SAL in the factory records – but not necessarily on the Brass Plate!
Nothing else known of this car, last reviewed August 2009.

E1 SB 177R

Shipped 27 August 1951 to HGL Sieberg, Amsterdam. Colours Red with beige upholstery.

So Jack, I fear you would have to search long and hard to find an SB and even then it may not be on the brass plate, however I have been factually correct in what I have been saying.

There was definitely one 'SB' Jupiter. I have its brass plate! It was (for it has been scrapped) E1 SB 560R. It was the prototype
SC Jupiter i.e. the prototype Mk1a Jupiter. It had strakes on the bonnet only, not all along the car as the very early Mk1 Jupiters had, and photos of it appeared in the literature of the time, bearing registration HKW 197. Its chassis was last seen very many years ago filling a gap in a hedge somewhere in Hampshire. Its bonnet still survives somewhere.
