There is little on the outside to show how special this car is.

The car sports the Dunlop wheels, for which it has become well known. However, it’s not certain when these were put on, and pictures / film exists of 550 VAR with Jimmy showing the car on standard steels.

This is also the first Special Equipment car, and sports the correct badge on the nearside rear.

The car retains it’s aluminium bonnet, boot and doors, and indeed, all the bodyshell, apart from the front two wings, is original to the car.
