We are delighted to offer this particularly charming 1952 Jowett Jupiter, a highly characterful British sports car with wonderfully personal provenance and long-term family ownership.
The Jowett is offered showing 90,913 miles and is finished in British Racing Green with a Tan interior, presenting as an honest and appealing example. The vendor advises that while the V5 records one former keeper, the accompanying original buff logbook shows it to have had three former keepers, which is believed to be the more accurate record.
What makes this Jupiter especially appealing is its remarkable family history. It has remained in the same family ownership since 1963, when it was purchased by the vendor’s father, who retained and enjoyed it for many years. It became a familiar part of family life and was passed on to his son in 2014. Now offered only due to lack of use, it is described as a very reluctant sale, having been part of the family story for decades.
It is understood to have been restored in the early 2000s and today presents in nice overall condition. The chrome could be improved in places if one wished to take it further, but it remains a very honest, attractive and usable example with real character.
The history file includes the original Jowett handbook and maintenance manual, together with a quantity of invoices and supporting paperwork.
The Jowett Jupiter remains one of the more distinctive post-war British sports cars, admired for its lightweight construction, advanced engineering and period competition pedigree. With its long-term family ownership, restored condition and appealing documentation, this example offers far more than simple classic car ownership.
A lovely, genuine Jupiter with warmth, honesty and provenance that is increasingly difficult to find.
