Good question, it must be out there somewhere and it looked great in that dragon green paint.
I'm afraid not .
Mike wasn't happy with using that body because of the amount of filler in it doing the changes to design and used it as a plug only. the body was cut up and disposed of , the chassis remains in waiting for another project , wheels and tyres went on the German Miglia and the engine and gearbox are now sat in a 1927 Ford Model T Hot Rod project that was something to do with Gary J but now being finished by a friend of mine.
So the door for the first V8 example is still open.

Was it painted in red oxide with black wings and a Jag front end???

no mate. it is an se5 chassised example with all outriggers removed post inspection , a tribute 27 T body and currently still in white or grey gelcoat.
Fitted the fuel pump and filter. It has a 15mm feed pipe and a 8mm flow/pressure pipe.
I am using flexi hose but will replace it with copper at a later date.
Also fitted a frame to carry the gear stick and hand brake. The gear stick and shaft are from a BMW E36 as it is about 100mm shorter this bring the gear stick forward to a much better position. Range Rover hand brake lever is fitted and working using the standard Triumph cable.
The fuel filler will be mounted where it is on a steel plate and then pass through a hole cut in the body so when the body is removed the filler will stay in place and keeping the fuel and vapours safely inside the tank. A rubber seal will be fitted between the steel plate and the body.
All things well, we will be wiring it up over the next few days and hopefully have it running next weekend.
