Known to many as Jessy, the taxi driver’s vehicle was found burnt out just before 7.30am in a field off the B659 Langford Road, near Langford.
The new CCTV image released by police was from the afternoon before the body of the man, originally from Hertfordshire, was discovered.
The footage was captured at the Esso Petrol Station in Letchworth, at 1.22pm on Wednesday, February 5.
The death was initially being treated as unexplained, but following inquiries, police opened a murder investigation.
This included a forensic postmortem and full examination of the vehicle remains, as well as statements from the people who knew Jessy.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Inwood said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Jesbir as this has been a very distressing time for them.
“We are continuing to work hard to establish the circumstances around what happened and would urge anyone who may have any information to get in touch with us.”
He added: “If you knew Jesbir and have information which could help, or if you witnessed suspicious activity on or around Langford Road overnight on Thursday 6 February, we want to hear from you.
It has now been determined that the car left central London shortly after 1am on the morning of February 6, travelling towards Letchworth via the A41.
At the time, police say the vehicle may not have been displaying the taxi sign on its roof.
A man in his 30s was arrested in June in relation to the incident, but he has since been released on bail as enquiries continue.
In a statement to social media, Bedfordshire Police wrote: “We remain committed to uncovering the circumstances that led to Jesbir’s death and our thoughts remain with his family and loved ones as they continue to come to terms with their loss.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Bedfordshire Police via their website, quoting Operation Acle.
Alternatively, information can also be provided anonymously through Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or visiting the Crimestoppers website.
