That's right! Here is 1202 (38846), alive and kicking! Indeed she does still survive at the British home of motor racing at Silverstone. The photo caption reliably informs us she is situated at Bridge Corner behind a toilet block! Not the most glamorous of places, but its really great to see she is still in one piece after 4 years without sightings or photos since she left the depot in 2006.
From the photo she does look remarkably intact with the fog lights still fitted and the seats still look to all be in place from what can be seen. The only part that seems to have suffered is the grill which seems strangely worn, but the rest of the paintwork looks extremely good in this British Racing Green!
Please do click on the photo to see her in her full glory!

If you look closely, you'll see the grill is in fact black - suggesting it hasn't been painted since Firstgroup days.
Perhaps that would suggest its worn condition?
We did mention this on "VR News on the 16th Aug 2010 with a side view photo, so not quite correct that its not been spotted in all that time. - http://ndl642m.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2010-08-22T11%3A01%3A00%2B01%3A00&max-results=7 -
