    I've been in touch with Rob Heath (he of the 'RWH' plate) about this - he's certain he only ever had the car registered on RWH32, so you can now count this as confirmed.

    Did you mean the shot in post 142? - looks like the aero club car park at Goodwood?

    I believe GR 24 was owned by Gerald Ronson, head of Heron International, a major property group.

    Somewhere I have a photo of a Lamborghini Espada bearing the same plate, taken in about 1968 outside a Knightsbridge office block.

    Interesting. I know Mr Ronson favoured the Celeste/Blu Scuro combination when he owned this model new (s/n 17353, RHD). He ordered the same spec for his 400 GT a few years later.

    Dino 246 GT s/n 07316 - reg 777R (we have loads of photos of this when it was at Foskers during the same period - I'lll dig them out of the archive)

    Can't help with the Testarossa or Mondial. John has suggested above that GR24 may be a Ronson car and he may be right - GR107 was on Mr Ronson's RHD 365 GT4 2+2 when he bought it new, so the plate format on this LHD example matches at least.

    365 GTC4 s/n 14503 - reg PYK836R (Can anyone definitely confirm or deny this? I have it down as this colour combo but reg 'PYR', which must just be data entry error from handwritten note as that is a Vauxhall Cavalier!)
    288 GTO s/n 56341 - reg 288MN (I've never seen another chassis number associated with this plate, but correct me if I'm wrong)
    288 GTO s/n 53785 - reg B582FGC

    This is #9117, which at this time was on sale or return at Maranello Sales from then owner, the late Bruce Owen.

    Have you got a note of the original delivery colour for this 275, Mark?

    Hi

    Filling in a few gaps:

    I'd check the archive - the plate in the photo is 772R :) - absolutely gorgeous car
    F40 C686(MC) is clearly 89047
    512TR 4AED blu chiaro/mag is 96059
    Testarossa DAN57 is 65243- later D475CPL
    Mondial 3.2 Cab in blue NOW1F - never did track it down, but of 58 UK RHD 3.2 cabs, there can't be that many blue ones!

    More to follow...
    Robert
