Another early RHD found

[Srenner]

No number yet, but this one has been abandoned in the woods in NY state, not far from a racetrack. How long does it take for a tree to grow? It is described as being 1/4 mile into the woods on some private property, but available "if the money matches the effort". If it weren't 3000 miles from me, I think with the help of one other guy, I could carry off, the bonnet, windscreen and remnants of the hood with little effort. Since the steel parts are likely long gone, I also think getting the rear bodywork would not be impossible. Pretty sure the RHD steering rack is in place as well. Missing the dash and gauges and note the Javelin "slanted spoke" steering wheel.

I do not have any Jupiter contacts in that part of the US, so I'm trying to keep the seller motivated.

NY Jupiter, likely E1SA14x

Scott,
I might be able to assist you in this adventure if you decide the effort worth while, depending on when and where, and what else is going on.

Where is it in NY State - nearest big town?

I do not have the exact area, but not too far from Lime Rock, CT. In spite of condition and location, the finders of these cars have dreams of a BIG payday. My mantra to them: Rare does not mean valuable.

Amazing what keeps turning up! Still looks like it has parts worth salvaging.

Lime Rock is only 70 miles south of my location. LMK if you still need assistance here.

Scott was generous enough to hand this one off... and I was happy to take over and help. Retrieval has been completed. The craziest thing about this one, is that for 35+ years, it had been sitting in the woods roughly 20 miles away from my home. A 40 minute drive.

I'm sure there must be an interesting story of retrieval from such a remote location! How much was salvagable?

Scott and the salvage crew: -

Well done! Now for the benefit of our collective curiosity, is there any sign of a chassis number yet, and if so does it reveal an interesting history!

As a long-time nosey parker, I cherish these trivial details.

The car is E1 SA 64.

The owner of the property retrieved the vehicle. A few trees needed to be cut down, it was then loaded on a small cart and hauled out behind an ATV/4 wheeler. He has been hunting the property since the mid 1980's.. old farm land... the car has been there since at least then, likely quite a bit longer.

The chassis and roughly 75% of the body are all that remain.
