No, 'fraid not. Presume scrapped.
Last noted as Unlicensed since 1993. Was red not yellow on last DVLA's entry at that time.

Hey Dibs, at least your Sa was UK spec'd but was it an Elford or simply added alloys?

I think Dibs just blagged the alloys or if I remember right, the dealer put them on the car to jazz it up a bit to sell it.
