That photo comes from a newspaper article I think by the Telegraph. I have a copy I got with my CRS from previous owner and will dig it out and see -I recall wondering what car it was and thought it might have been CRS 9501 given the colour and article date timing /wording but let me check when I can re read the article (am away from home right now).
   Someone else may know.

I think Damon used to have a car hire company called P1 and they had a blue CRS as one of the cars. Used to see it in Effingham/Bookham in Surrey

Having dug out my article it confirms Bob's comments above-Its CRS 9534 (Reg Y149COF) and was/is part of the P1 club stable of cars.
   
   It says the photo shoot was in "Surrey"  and Cobham is mentioned.
   
   The article I have is a 2 page spread from the Sunday Times May 2 2004
