If that is in fact the car that was at the factory, then I have a handful of photos I took of it during one of my factory visits a few years ago. I know for a fact I have the serial number among my photos.
I have a vague recollection that this was a 1986 model car... It was wearing an American-style "L" bumper, and was originally intended for Kirk Evans, which effectively would have placed is in 1985-1986...
