Twyfords Jupiter / Rhapsody Close Coupled Toilet in Almond

Elevate your bathroom restoration with this genuine almond toilet suite by Twyfords. Part of the highly successful Rhapsody/Jupiter range, this close-coupled unit was a staple of premium domestic homes and high-end hotels throughout the 1980s. Finished in the exclusive Almond glaze, this suite offers a sophisticated, creamy neutral tone that adds warmth and understated elegance to any period bathroom.

Fully Restored and Ready for Installation

Unlike many reclaimed units, this suite has undergone a rigorous restoration process to ensure it meets modern standards of hygiene and performance:

• Complete Internals: The cistern comes fully equipped with all necessary bottom-inlet fittings and a high-quality chrome side lever handle, all included in the price.

• Modern Plumbing Compatibility: The toilet pan features a P-trap (horizontal outlet), making it compatible with the majority of modern waste pipe configurations exiting through the wall.

• Immaculate Finish: Both the pan and cistern are in excellent condition, with the vitreous china professionally cleaned and descaled to restore its original high-gloss lustre.

Product Features and Design

The Rhapsody/Jupiter range is celebrated for its balanced, rounded silhouette and the legendary durability of Twyfords’ British manufacturing.

• Configuration: Close-coupled (the cistern sits directly on the back of the pan), providing a compact and streamlined footprint.

• Flushing Style: Features a traditional side-lever flush for an authentic 1980s tactile experience.

• Coordinated Styling: If you are looking to create a full suite, we also stock matching Almond pedestal basins and vanity basins. Please contact us to build a bespoke package.

Why Choose an Almond Toilet?

Almond is one of the most versatile discontinued colours, sitting perfectly between the deep “Harvest Gold” of the 70s and the “Whisper” pastels of the 90s. Finding a complete almond toilet in this condition is essential for those who want to avoid the cost of a full renovation by replacing a single damaged unit while maintaining a 100% tonal match.

Delivery and Collection

We offer specialised delivery for this suite at a fixed cost of £50. Our team utilises reinforced, shock-absorbent packaging to ensure both the pan and cistern arrive in perfect condition. Alternatively, collection is available from our workshop.
