It does appear to have pinkish tones to it, Can we have some more images jnoss66. I still think this is Robs model!!

This model needs to be inspected inside the arches, inside the door jams and under the roof etc, for the overall pinkish tint, if it has that, then the model must surely have been subjected to Sunfade.

The picture can easily be tweaked to give hints of pink around the body especially on the leading edge of the bonnet and the area below the rear side window as we look at it.

My reposting of the image here is only a larger version, I have not tweaked the image.

I hope the model was not purchased for an unusually high sum of money, if it turns out to just a Sunfaded model.

Whilst Robs description was " most likely either a factory paint error or a trial variation " it definitely has pink undertones in good light . Mine are not the best pictures . The texture is also somewhat dull , almost rough .
