That’s #072. Was the one with a failing turbo that Rob looked at last summer. Ended up going through the auctions, looks like someone may have repaired it.

Hopefully purchasing black screw head covers for the number plate screws ....

My OCD is in overdrive over that picture!!!

There's also a black Roadster S in Copford, just down the road from Stanway. Never seen it driven, permanently on the drive way and covered in dust.
Not taken a pictures as it's clearly at someone's home.

I've seen that one a few times, dumped under a car port covered in detritus :(

Very interesting to see this one spotted back out in the wild. Does anybody know what the issue was (or know somebody that does)? I hope for whoever now has it that it was something simple.

Regarding the numberplate, the additions look like velcro tabs to be, almost as if it's on day release from the showroom and they've removed the show plates which were held on with velcro. But then it's never turned up for sale since the last auction, so maybe not?

Think this must be the one I saw today at the top of Clingoe Hill heading towards Wivenhoe.
