Not quite that green I'm afraid!! you are talking to someone who owned a Jubilee for a few years about 20 yrs ago I think! have got pics of it somewhere ill have to post them up!

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!

I like the hammered Pilot, what engine did you use?

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

Hi Chris, it had a Jenson 383 in it! hence the reg, that's about 7 litre V8!! a bit hairy to say the least!! I painted it bright bubble gum pink heres some pics of it finished!!





You can just see my Jubilee up the road too

That Pilot is gloriously insane

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

Luvvin that, what happened to it?

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!!

Thanks, yes as the colour of the Pilot!! Don't think I'd do it the same now!!

You spotted GT6 wheels too! I'm impressed, just bought another set too! From down your way

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

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.

Wow, as a fellow hot-rodder I really love that Pilot, way cool with that chop and the colour is a kiler!

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).

I've not used mine much this year! been too busy with my Marinas!!

Cheers Andy

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
