It sports adjustable radiator slats which were apparently being tested at the time. The works sheet confirms that it was completed in 1962, delivered in 1963 to Batchelor, painted metallic grey, had grey headlining and red carpets and was trimmed in Connolly VM 3195. The only deviation from full TF spec today is the lack of power steering, although this could be added relatively easily."

There was no on-screen explanation for its disappearence from what I could remember. Maybe the production after the first series were unable to loan the car again.
