chris40 ◊ 2008-02-10 13:48	I'm having trouble finding evidence for this, but is it possible that this is a Jowett Jupiter which was specially built for the late Sir Peter Ustinov? The only photo I can find is on the Jupiter website, but it's so awful it isn't really any help
Yvon52 ◊ 2008-02-10 13:55	No, it isn't the Ustinov Jowett Jupiter. I think we have to look for cars like the RAILTON one
