The numberplate is Surrey Nov 1934. -- Last edit: 2021-11-18 15:36:08

Unfortunately the GHOST (Greatly Helpful Overrider Spacing Theory) only seems to affect Wolseleys (inner position as here = 15/60, further outwards = 16/60) - and Rileys didn't change. However colour split does seem to work - this format (shared with A55 Cambridge Mk2) = 4/68, while normal upper/lower split along full length of trimline = 4/72.
