I am going to make a wild guess that someone brought the mystery VP along to another meeting of the Classic Car Club

Those photos appear to have been taken by Tobias Brusegard of clickzoom.com & "HardcoreAdultVideos" from NYC.

Posted
On his blog
And his web site

Please, Tobias don't do this to the Tesla Roadster!

By the way, have you seen these photos of the Yenko Camaro?

The photos were taken at the Classic Car Club in New York this past Thursday the 11th. I have a few just like it on my cell phone. This is actually EP 6 and it had just arrived from the UK. I would have been much more excited to attend if it had been a VP, but I still enjoyed the opportunity to check out another EP with plenty of time to sit in it and imagine what it would be like to drive it.

The crash test video Martin is showing has a few car colors. They are probably EPs.

----

Comment from TEG : Crash test videos include a white one getting the side impact test. Perhaps that was VP4?

Apparently it was retrofitted with VP taillights...

The pictures had front plate holes that seemed to match the "blowing hot and cold" picture so I thought it might be the same car, but the new style tail-lights had me wondering.

Looking through Martin's MPG talk, I am starting to wonder about EP4 vs EP6.

On page 56 it says "EP4 Completed" and shows a blue roadster, yet I thought EP4 was orange.

Also, on page 63 it says "EP4 & EP5" durability testing and shows a Yellow and Blue Roadster. (EP5 is the yellow one, so again they are saying that EP4 is blue)

Perhaps both EP4 and EP6 are dark blue, and the orange one is a different EP?

Ooops

Let's hope it's not the same adhesive as that used to bond the Aluminium chassis
