Default Breaking 75 with "private" plate

T'was on the bay earlier and noticed this one that has the plate T75 by the look of it. Anyone know anything about it?

Seems like an appropriate name for someone trying to scratch his/her name into the bonnet

The info is totally wrong on this one how can it be the 2,599th 75 with a Vin of 1483?
And certainly not a Contemporary they were for expor tonly at that stage of production ( some European markets used the name Contemporary instead of Connie)

Almost certain to be a Dealer launch spec car

Wonder if anyone wants to save this one?
