Not as far as I know .
It was always JMV529N when raced although it has had a few numbers on it before and since . I've got the print out from the DVLA at home so I'll check later .

I think you should reintroduce the Pirelli scheme. It would suit you - a shy, retiring guy who likes to go unoticed

The reason I asked is that Mike Pickup (Pickup Leask Motorsport) used a similar-liveried car in some of their advertising back in the late '80's - here's one such advert from Porsche Post Winter 1988 Also mentions Keith Russell):

'87 championship results .
My car finished 4th in class A .
Described as an RS but isn't so obviously reference the engine spec . Not sure if it had an RS engine swap or the E engine was built to RS spec . Sadly the engine not in the car now .

Colour change from blue to white but still narrow body before what I guess are SC flares

Still a race car in '98 owned by Pat Jennings .
Did the 500km race at the 'ring and also raced at Spa although I have no more details on these .
Invoice from Dr S.Brunn GMBH ( who's this ? ) for work done in May prior to 500km race .
Gives Pat Jennings address as Ypres so maybe the car was based in Belgium for a while .

Its current owner Geoff is rebuilding the car to take it racing again.
Thanks for sharing this....I've heard a number of times that NLX 97L had a racing history but thus far I'm struggling to get any details of it....would love to learn more....originally it was Gemini Blue but at some time was re painted black.....
Here she is today...hopefully about 6 moths from rolling again.
I've traced the cars UK Owners so wonder if any of these names ring a bell.
