Jowett Jupiter R4

This is a photograph I took at an Oulton Park meeting in the late 1950s I think, as it's one I took with my old Kodak Brownie 127 camera. I don't know the year or the event, but it was a club meeting, probably the Mid-Cheshire Motor Racing Club or the Lancashire & Cheshire Car Club.
It's a 1953 Jowett Jupiter R4 sports car with the 1,486cc Jowett flat-four engine, one of apparently only 3 cars made.

    1. It's over 60 years ago, but black and white as far as I remember.
      There's a Jowett Jupiter website that may be able to confirm this: https://www.jowettjupiter.co.uk/
