Well I have a vested interest, but I'd like to get this one out the way!

It's a Jowett Jupiter with a body by Coachcraft. Now owned by John Surtees.

I would have been disappointed if you hadn't been you who identified it!

Here's a rear-view:

It looks like a closed version of the Porcus Volans. Is there a link to that car?

No relations with Porcus Volans !

Porcus Volans, sounds like a nickname my daughter would give me when I'm in my bathing costume, or perhaps Porcus Vol-Au-Vents would be more accurate. :hah:

As for the car in the picture, someone was clearly trying to make it look Aston Martin-esque, but I suspect there's no connection whatever....er, is there?

The front looks like a Ford Zephyr from the 50s
so are there Ford Zephyr parts in this car?

Based on a 1951 Jowett Jupiter chassis, that's the car (PPF746) which competed at Goodwood in 1954 and was owned by John Surtees until comparatively recently, when it sold at £38,505 in spite of its requiring a rebuild. The body was by Coachcraft. 8)

I thought it must be a repost - we've had just about every Jupiter ever built on AP over the years.

BTW the grille is definitely a Ford Zephyr MkI.
