Chassis #042 has made an appearance at Club Auto Sport - the same place XP4 is sometimes stored. They had an event there this past weekend called "Bulldogs, Bentleys & Bangers - Celebrating all things British"
A friend sent me this photo he'd found on another friend's Facebook page from the event. Initially it appeared to be #038, but given the small size I couldn't be entirely certain:
Then this photo appeared on Flickr, again looking kind of orange-ish and also tagged with 'Club Auto Sport'. Since I still had #038 on the brain it took me a second to realize that the visual clues in this shot - standard headlamps, roof antenna, interior treatment w/quick-release steering wheel - make it chassis #042 instead, almost without a doubt.

I asked the photographer to confirm the chassis number, but he didn't happen to know. He says he has more photos but apparently only plans to share the ones he really thinks are special. Maybe I can beg and plead for him to share copies of the ones he doesn't plan to publish in his gallery, but I'll wait and see what else he ends up sharing before bothering him further about it.
Nice to see this car again though.
