The base is easy, but who carried out the conversion?

Jowett Javelin Convertible - 1953?

[barrett]

Sure is, but which company created the bodywork?

As I'm not allowed to answer, it doesn't matter that I have no idea, but if I'd seen one "in period" I'd have wanted one!!!

[barrett]

Up a level

Worblaufen.

[barrett]

Correct! Another point for you.

I'm afraid that's al I know about this lovely car, so if anyone can fill in any details it's be much appreciated

[D-type]

Surely a Javelin not a Jupiter as stated in the title? 

[barrett]

Oops!
Maybe a sign that I should be doing some more writing instead of posting puzzles

Ner!  Keep on posting - you post real cars including some I can guess.

Quite so!
Keep 'em coming!
What, where & who was/is Worblaufen? Were they in the place of that name north of Bern?

[pnegyesi]

The archives of Worblaufen can be accessed quite easily. As links are not allowed here let me just say that you need to contact the "Swiss Car Register" in Switzerland

You are simply not allowed not to post woodinsight!
Especially as you are a Pro now that's all you'll have to do as you won't be allowed to guess any more unless  you're really lucky!

[woodinsight]

I'm mystified why you say that Carnut.
I haven't posted anything on this topic and even if I did it's a solved puzzle!

I think the comment was aimed at barrett and found you instead

I think I must have had one too many beers when I posted that!
For 'woodinsight' read 'barrett' and ignore the second line...!
