I recall a story from the papers when these were new where a young chap living at home has saved up and bought one new.
No idea why that should stick in my mind but it's always been there. Wonder if it's one of these?
I think the guy in question that you are thinking of purchased a red Jalpa rather than a Silhouette, am sure it was featured on the front cover of 'Car' magazine which I have filed away somewhere safe!!!No idea why that should stick in my mind but it's always been there.

Was a B reg car so probably 1984 ish.

After I bought my Jalpa, I didn't have enough money for food that week.
I was an articled clerk and I'd started on £6,250 a year.
I had to raid the jar that I deposited the coppers that I'd got in change over the years to eat.
I thought I'd bought it 50/50 with a mate but the October 1987 crash hit before he had paid me his half and he no longer had the money.
And you try telling the young people of today......

OK then, right colour but wrong reg number, the guy in question owned a red Lamborghini Jalpa 3.5, reg number RHV 262Y. I chatted to him on a number of occasions at Lamborghini meetings including this one which was at a pub near Castle Donington in 1984. For info this Jalpa has a black interior.
This particular Jalpa was definitely featured in 'CAR' magazine because I seem to recollect that it was a very interesting story to read, though am struggling to find that particular magazine to post on here. Will keep digging!
In the meantime, here are a few photographs I took of the Jalpa and the owner at this particular meet in 1984.
