No idea who bought it; wondering where in the world it will show up.

I think that's pretty strong money here in the US, particularly given the transgressions from original. The direction of the grain on the dash is one of those, even though I have seen a number of cars restored that way.

Seems as though Tim's Jupiter (September Jowetteer) is a bargain.

The pound has dipped 6 % hence the apparent rise in value. But even so an encouraging result in the USA.

Yes, that's a pretty big jump in price on the last auction of a Jupiter in the US. All it takes is two bidders. Mecum will not release the name of the buyer, so it's wait and see until it pops up.
