I might be wrong but I think it is the same model. I never got round to flying it (only taxi tests). I sold it a couple of months back as I needed the space back.
I would be extremely interested to know the circumstances.

What a nightmare!
Sorry to hear that. Sounds pretty nasty.
She was a good looking plane too. Glad to hear that the engine and fan seems OK. Hopefully you'll get some of the money back.
Perhaps I'll see you at Valley some time?
