Bmc on chasing classic cars

I'm sure I overtook that on the road near Horsham last year - it definately wasn't wearing a D plate though, I tried googling it at the time for more info and drew a blank

I think that there are 2 buses like this.
One was at Goodwood (Bonhams) this year.

I thought I was the only guy that watches that lol.

Yup same as. Counting Cars too.

The thing that makes me laugh about that show is how he bigs his cars up saying he's going to make huge amounts of money at auction then the cars rarely fetch anywhere near the reserve and he walks off with a face like a smacked a**e.

I thought that initially - but more likely to be A60 Farina in origin thinking about it.

I think the connections with the D plate are just that the truck has been seen and photographed a lot, and even offered for sale a few times, with that plate on it and nobody seems to have spotted the registration year anomaly.

You see this quite a lot on "Bring A Trailer". People get whatever UK plate they can get their hands on and put them on their ex-UK vehicle.
If they personally imported it, or bought it from a fastidious owner, the plate is sometimes the old UK plate or at least plausible for the car in question.

In this case (I remember watching this episode a few years ago and googling the plate) I think the fact that it's a yellow plate on the front means it's just a random plate that someone put on to add provenance or to try and improve the look.

Chasing Classic Cars is one of the only car shows my wife and I can watch together, she says it's like the house buying/selling shows and likes seeing the non-mechanical stuff that goes into getting the cars ready for sale and seeing some of the people who have emotional attachments to the cars they're getting Wayne to sell on.

Someone in a FB group I'm in knows Wayne from the pre-war car clubs in the US, says that the show doesn't tell the whole story about him.
He's apparently hugely wealthy, very well respected in auction circles and has a huge personal collection, which is probably why he's usually not bothered when a car he's handling sells for way under estimate.

Thought I'd keep on the chasing classic cars theme instead of starting a new thread.
