365 GTB4 Daytona - by Hooper?

I'm not able to publish the photos here (an understandable preference for family privacy), but now that I know where the car was and when, I can hopefully track down some other images of it.

I realise I never updated this with a better quality photo of the Motor Sport mag advert from 1975. Here's a much clearer image showing the reg plate, courtesy of Steve Dyer at Brian Classic.

I do like originality in cars, but I'm really hoping this walnut dash is still in the car whenever it next turns up in photos.

FWIW, it seems likely that the car was sold on in about 1978.

Thread bump. I still haven't found anyone who has a lead on where this car might be. There really aren't many UK Daytonas that are totally off-grid - this one's a real mystery!

Wasn't permitted to share photos that I was sent by the family (which is fair enough), but Tony Willis tipped me off about an image in Neill Bruce's collection: http://www.ferraribyneillbruce.co.uk/Catalogues.html

Neill kindly permitted me to post a cropped image of s/n 15847 from his collection here.

Here it is - the Hooper-dash Daytona interior. Quite something.

Absolutely no idea, Matthew. The car's not on anyone's radar, so I'm hoping it's been shut away in a garage and will emerge one day soon so that we can have a proper gander at the bespoke fittings.

Looks like that to me, Grant.

Thanks to the very kind family of the Viscount Cross, I am now in possession of the original warranty booklet for s/n 15847.

If the owner of this Daytona ever happens to stumble upon this thread, the booklet's yours if you want it.
