Another coachbuilt Jowett Jupiter?
The more I consider the nature of speed, the more mysterious I find it.

. . . perhaps it's the 1949 prototype built by ERA at the 1949 London Motor Show although the headlights on the wings look more modern than the later Briggs-built bodies. I wondered if the man on the right might be Professor von Eberhorst but probably isn't (too much hair).

That's the one!
Only 3 more Rookie ID's to go now before life gets (slightly) more difficult!
Well done.
