Thanks Bri this shot had me doing some checking,but i am certain this is again the coupe this thread was started about,the LUT /VPB coupe,what threw me was the straight red paint and chrome 5 spokes (4 on the front ),there aren't many photos of it like this i bet.

not yet,I have found out that it is now red, and still exists

the roof looks short to me ,but that could just be photo angle.

Thanks for the update Steve,it’s still taxed and motd for a couple of months but maybe it had to be for it to be exported.

I`m certain it`s Paul Kemptons old LUT490 too Ian, the body lines are the same as are the bonnet badges, 5 and 4 bolt wheels, same stance and they both have a short stubby aerial in the same place.
