Yes thats an old one mate. That white special was a good well known car in the north east. About 2009 I think when they killed that one.

I think it is still festering in the TG 'scrapyard' at Dunsfold; every so often there is a track day there and some members of other forums I frequent go and I think someone photographed it last year amongst the other buggered up cars.
The classic car movement needs Jeremy Clarkson like Jenson Button needs a towhitch and a Sprite Musketeer....
