Does anyone know if the driver of
http://www.italiancar.co.uk/Automoto...s/CIMG0452.htm
got home OK? I would swear that there is a horribly shunted one in a
garage just south of Lincoln. Nasty front-ended.

No idea, but it's a bloody disaster if it has been in a prang, 'cos I
*think* it's the only surviving example of a Farina Jowett Jupiter.

Looks like I may be right:

I hope that I am mistaken too.
Luckily the traffic was light and I slowed to 20 ish as we went by
and admired the car, but bewailed the damage. Unfortunately I did not
have the time to stop.
It does look very like the photo of the Farina :-(

Thank you Gunther. Very happy to hear this news.

I still have not had the time to go back and re-look at the broken
car. I will still try and find out what it actually is.
