Please do Andy!
I have a long list of Jubilees so you never know ;)

Hi Paul,

Found pics of my Jubilee, its reg was PDP995M, these pics were taken in 1988 ish so she was about 14 then, I kept it for about 4 years then a mate of mine had it for a time after that,
Whilst I owned it I re registered it from the above to ARU383A, Which was almost the opposite of my Pilot which was 383ARU! :)

These are pics of my mk3 I owned just before the pilot, they are not the latest pics of it as I had I repainted and murals painted on it amongst other things! It started life as a 1300L but I changed everything on it to make it a TC,

I will see if I can find later pics of it

That Pilot is gloriously insane 8-)

I like the Jubilee on (banded?) GT6 steels too. The Mk3 is very... of it's time? ;) :mr green:

Hi Chris, same as most of my other cars m8 they move on to make room for the next!! A chap up London sold it for me! Edd Turners at Hayes, I replaced it with a 67 Cougar and or a MK2 Triumph 2500S! Never saw the car again! last we heard someone had seen it in a garage partly stripped and in a poor state!! ::(:

I have no record of that Jubilee on either plates so I guess it has long gone but you never know :eh:

It was last licensed in 1991 on ARU 383A so I guess you didn't keep that plate and sold the Jubilee with it.
Looked in nice condition.

I fancied a set of GT6 steels for my estate, ended up with a set of very cheap slotmags instead. There are a set of spitfire rims floating around somewhere (currently propping up a Dolomite while it's wheels are refurbed & the car is resprayed) that I'm very tempted to get banded eventually. But three sets of wheels for one car is a tad excessive perhaps (it's "normal" wheels will be a set of TC steels).

Hi I was not aware the wheels were banded to be honest! the ones I recently purchased from Gloucester were 5 and a half rims, as you state off the GT6, I'm no expert but think they are wider than the Dolomite rims anyhow that's why they fetch a premium? Stand to be corrected ;)
