Yes I had my eye on that ...

It's not the only one in existence though; there's one in a museum.

Pretty cool phone. I notice on the one up now the line cord starts straight from the phone but turns to a curled cord near the plug. Is this usual? I do not see the plug on the other 2 but they appear to have a straight cord.

Trimphones had a part-curly cord. They're no so widely available now so replacements are often straight.

Trimphones also had a special smaller grommet for the cable entry hole.

I would say the only Jubilee bit on that is the handset. If you notice its actually a very early Trimphone as it has the Alphanumeric dial. If the previous owner worked for STC he no doubt acquired the handset to add to the older model- well thats my opinion anyhow.......
