Front-on book photo gives direct match, plus http://www.alpimodel.com/spk/s0809.html for wider comparison. Comment from https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/18216/lot/309/ about 67 ARX: "This ex-works BMC rally team 'Big Healey' is understood to be the sole surviving 1962 Team car ..... one of a series of five cars built by the works in 1962 with registration numbers respectively '37', '47', '57', '67' and '77 ARX'. Three ('37', '57' and '77') were written off in 1963 and one, '47 ARX', in 1964."
