Good bit of detective work.
We were delighted when opera conductor and composer Stephen Barlow placed an order for one. His film star wife Joanna Lumley, when asked to contribute to the ‘Courvoisier Book of the Best’ it was the Grinnall V8 she proffered, describing it as ‘a hairy wizard of a car’ adding that driving it was a ‘bat-out-of-hell time!’

I'd say on balance that's too much of a coincidence.
Fox-
@hudsoncjnr thanks, I'd never heard of it.
@Fox nice find, yep got to be hers. I knew she was local as I've seen her in the local Sainsbury's a few times.

No way, cool info. Wow I wonder if that means the car regularly parked right next to it (I live round the corner too) belongs to Joanna Lumley?
It just doesn't quite look right, though frankly anything parked next to that Aston is going to look weak. It has no badges on it, at first I thought it was a BMW Z1, but then got side on and saw those tell tale door handles, and was like WTF!, that's from a Triumph TR7 isn't it?....Its obviously not an ordinary TR7. DVLA has it listed as a 3.9 litre petrol, so probs an old Rover V8. Joanna has previous with TR7's too.
