Guy Edwards 296. I have a very nice picture of it in ultramar livery - will scan it and post it in here.
The chassis number is HU87 and I have checked with Gerald at Lola heritage and he confirms this is the case (as much as anyone can confirm these things!).

Oh and it will be out again next year in Orwell and/or CER in it's original livery.
