It doesn't have a Vanden Plas body - but a brand-new replica by Jasper Killick, for Ian Polson on behalf of Bruce Copp. BUT, its chassis & engine nos are those of the prototype VdP 105 tourer 31072/AV 27:
And very importantly - the replica also incorporates the one unique feature of the prototype tourer:
namely, 'shallow' doors that are rear-hinged and not front-hinged
(unlike those of chassis nos 31076, 31077, 31079 and the three Alpine
cars (31082, 31083 & 31084).
