Default retro XY GT drawing????

I know some people on this forum have excellent memories so I'm wondering if anyone remembers an artists impression drawn in Street Machine Magazine years ago of a retro XY GT HO.
It was drawn to show what an XY GT would look like if it was built today (complete with round LEDs)
The end result was fantastic, made me wish Ford built it as their last car.
It was quite a few years ago now but if anyone remembers or better still actually has the picture could you please post it up?
If not, I'll continue my search.....thank you

Looks awful—like one of those "futuristic" models from a 1940's science-fiction mag. Wheels/arches and glasshouse are totally out of proportion on profile view.
