 You can thank me for that Sandie. I'm not trying to be arrogant here.

 I've always thought that they used the 2000-02 Fiat Punto front lights on this car.

BX53 AUR was the 7th production car (chassis #107, Pearl Black, Gunsmoke interior, Gunmetal side vents), originally registered as an evaluation vehicle in "semi-engineering" spec (3-point safety harness, 18" OZ alloys, large rear spoiler, track-day exhaust etc) for John Edwards (vice-chairman of Phoenix Venture Holdings, the MG-Rover holding company). And it was the actual example used by Codemasters for the Xbox and Playstation TOCA Race Game. (Info from a book listing which has plate info; this site has same info, but doesn't directly list the plate.)

First dealer car for public sale was chassis #110 - 101 to 109 listed as "internal".

Confirmed. Apparently the final choice was between Punto and Audi A4 - Punto won by being slimmer and "looking more technical".

 5 models in 1:43 - 3 resins by Spark (on left - pale red, silver and the racer), 2 diecasts by Norev (on right - darker red, dark green)

Fairly sure there are no others in 1:43, and not aware of anything in other scales.
