cheers for the replies fellas,
this isnt a sticker its a pressed plate rivited on the slam panel under the bonnet, just the same as a vin plate.
well it is an autobiography, but i have thought it has a funny past since purchase due to the fact it only has 38k miles on a 1996,
i purchased the vehicle from an auction with no history or paperwork, due to this and the fact that it was unrealistic miles a lot of people were put off, but not me...
when i finally got the vehicle it had some detail of where the vehicle had come from so i called them only to find the vehicle had come from the royal mews, buckingham palace road, so i persued the enquiry and eventually they sent me all the service history and spare keys... i was shocked...
now this isnt to mean that the car has been owned by anyone royal as the mews is the place that all the royal transport is run from but its also where al the palace workers live so who knows hence why i ask what this plate is,
i do belive the plate is original as the date stamp on it is the very same as the year and month the vehicle was built.
