Ive seen it at a few shows in the past. I seem to remember it was a 4.3 factory hybrid produced latter 1991 maybe 1992.
Never been very fussed on the colour, it must be an absolute bugger to keep clean.

I have also seen it around the Brighton area in the past

There are 3 officially but all have different versions of the Chimaera spec 4.3 engine just to make things really confusing...

One was up for sale quite recently.

Have inside factory info that the 4.3 was considered the best all-round engine derivative. Was VERY tempted by the one in Sprint (blue) at about £14k.
