Default Early Launch Car For Sale?

This 1999 (V reg) 2.5 Connoisseur in Wedgewood Blue with Nepture Blue personal line interior just popped up for sale in Bristol:

Could it be one of the launch cars?

It's being sold as "spares or repairs" and looking at the MOT test failure sheet, it definitely needs some love. I hope it gets saved.

Ah, customer car inspired by the launch cars perhaps. Thanks for confirming.

I hope someone saves it regardless, but reading the MoT test failure list, I suspect it'll go for spares.
