Usually in England codes were kept in the same general area, but many of the underused Welsh & Scottish ones were reallocated to places in England.

At first glance I thought this was a Land Rover ready to be towed easily when the inevitable happens, but what it that on the end of the A frame?

If only they had mounted the number plate half an inch higher up and the bolts would fit nicely in the hole of the B and 5.

Part of the legendary Silver Arrows, although mentioning it these days will probably get me incarcerated for life as being a fascist by the woke wankers and Starmaer supporters

George Eyston's Thunderbolt - held the land speed record of 357.50 mph for a short time in the late 30's - on the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Twin Rolls Royce V12 aircraft engines -  each 36.5 litre supercharged engine had an individual output of 2,350 bhp - single driven rear axle.

Eyston himself is the chap in the glasses standing left of the car.

Despite a life of daring-do he died age 81 in 1979 - not killed like John Cobb and Donald Campbell who both risked the water speed record.
