Don't think so.
I've searched again and still can't find any reference to it.

Aston Martin DB3S /105. Coupe body built by Panelcraft for Lord O'Neill in 1956. The chassis of this car became the base for the recently solved puzzle car the RRA Special. The beautiful bodywork was scrapped in the 1990s  >:(

oops, a slight mistake in my haste there - It was the original open body of DB3S /105 that was used in the RRA special, mounted on a different chassis...

Yes!
Lovely car - was the body really scrapped in the 1990s?  Someone should be charged with that crime..

Here's a rear-view of it:

We´ve definitly had this before. But many older puzzles went into the big black hole during the times...
