There is a colour photo in Mike Spoor's Color Guide page 47 of #61417.
Other cars to get this special treatment were 17302, 17786 and 60682, with
text and B&W photos in Bulletin #7.
This subject was raised in December 2000 and May & November 2002, but the
numbers of the other four cars have not come to light.
