Yes, I expect so. I was in Belgravia on my way out to hit the M4 back over to Exeter, saw him just past Hammersmith on the A4 heading in the same direction.

EDIT: Also just remembered it had a thing on the roof - leading me to assume mayor of london or something. Cool to know it was royal, weird there was no visible security presence though!

MYT 1 formerly belonged to Elizabeth II, if you Google the plate you'll see it on things such as her old Vauxhall Cresta Friary. However after her death, the plate made a reappearance along with MYT 2 on a pair of identical FFRRs during the State Funeral. Both cars are in State colours, and were part of the cortege from London to Windsor on her final journey, following the State Hearse.

However they always seem to come up as a pair of VW vans online, even since her funeral. No idea why.

Coming back from LHR the other night, got passed by a dark Rolls Royce 5JN.

Any idea who that might be? Carefully spaced to look like SJN.

How to you "carefully space" a 5 to look like an S?

Bizzarre. Might be a security thing maybe. Anyway, it was on a FFRR a few days ago at least. Hope I don't get a visit from the SAS for saying this LOL

Saw MAY 3R on a Range Rover today, no pic. Sold for £4,300 plus the bits in 2001.
I'll have to look through the archives. I'm sure I photographed that on a mid 2000s Bentley Arnage a few years back.

Single letter, One of the top letters. Low number, also a recent year.

I've heard it's already back on the market with a healthy mark up.
