Some Jupiter statistics, some happy, some sad.
Of the 900 Jupiters built by Jowett it is believed 54% or 486 survive.
In good running order – 190
OK, including tidy runners, cars complete or nearly so, stored or under restoration – 197
Surviving laid up, restorable even if incomplete – 99
Unheard of since new – 287
Known or believed to have been scrapped – 127

Interesting. How many 1952 LHD Jupiters were built, and how many still exist, and of those how many are running ?

For what it is worth I have 1 1952 Jupiter, it is being restored & mostly complete, need a soft top or parts of one if any one has them. Or a hard top?
