With all due respect, Ozstatsman has neither endorsed nor declared the Caribbean in question to be a prototype. He has merely added this car to a list-whatever it turns out to be in the end.
As for photos, I have personally seen numerous photos of the vehicle in question and I don't think there is anyone breathing who ought to know the prototype better. And while I am also not making any "declarations" this car does have tantalizing aspects. And these are things that someone competent with these cars would know better than folks arguing on the internet about who did what and when and where and how in an academic or sterile environment.
There are photos that exist of the the original prototype being built. I personally have a full set of these very photos (yes, that no one has seen all but some are in the new Creative Industries book). I also knew people who worked on the prototype car. So there was one and all of the arguments aside, there are ways of vetting (no pun intended) this vehicle. Or not.
Whether the vehicle being discussed in this forum is the same vehicle and all of the other issues that went with it... has yet to be resolved. But there have been people of sufficient knowledge looking at this vehicle. So it is not necessarily a "fraud"... whatever it turns pout to be.
