Can't find much info online - there's a 2013 resto vid of one as a bare bodyshell, but shows a full-length sunroof hole; also a detail rear photo of a blue one with a reversing light in the trim strips which this one doesn't have. But this one has shiny deep paint, the sunroof, is probably product placement somehow, and maybe the HOO plate represents more than just a normal Ford reg but also signifies Hooper?? Can't pursue this any further, but after a glass of Scottish moon juice, I've nearly convinced myself ....
