a mate off mine took a pic off your car around 1990 it was white and stood outside a garage lookin well ratty around the brands hatch area,
i owned it maybe 1999-2000 it was painted the color it is now but the front wings were still white and ROTTEN, the guy had bought fibreglass ones from the usa £800 with shippin duties etc, i still have them, i patched the steel ones and filled etc painted the full car a quick job, sold it to tim ellison a decent enough guy, it came back maybe 2 yrs later and i built the trans, hope this helps a bit, should be a 383 car
