Wild pint is one of the batch of 25 Series III Stage 1 V8 88" Station Wagons built in 1980 as a special order batch for Jamaican police (allegedly), but the order was cancelled so they were shipped out to Trinidad & Tobago instead and sold off. These were the only official Stage 1 88" made, and a book pic looks pretty much identical (grille, double roof, station wagon top with upper windows, RHD). Apparently most of them survive as highly-prized enthusiasts examples, as they were very zoomy with the V8 in swb body. A long shot but tempted to enter it to see what happens? Any location clues welcome.
