Clarkson: Racist

Storm in a tea cup.
Do people honestly believe that the TG researchers went looking specifically for that number plate? What if it had been on a Vauxhall Nova? Wouldn't have been much of a special then, would it?
But no, the papers would have you believe that they wanted that EXACT number plate, which just happened to be attached to a Porsche 928, and just happened to have been for sale when they wanted to buy it.
Ridiculous.

Is there anyway to find out when the car was bought by top Gear?
The last keeper change was 08/08/2014 so possibly then.As has been said, this is the original plate that was on the car, the car was on a private plate for a bit though.
The fact it was purchased so recently and that the trip must have been set up well in advance of that suggests I was wrong.
Happy coincidence then.
I've absolutely no doubt it was accidentally on purpose. If you look at the history of all the little 'accidental provocations' in their foreign jaunts, it's an intrinsic part of the program. If the plate was genuinely original to the car, that doesn't even make it improbable. With access to the data, it would be easy enough to search for apt number plates, and then set the program up around whichever one turned out to be on a car that could be suitable/sourced. If you think about it, their are dozens of number plates that contain 982, 82, FKS,FLS,FKD,FLD,FDS etc. etc., if that failed, then you could look for plates that suggested Belgrano, Exocet etc. etc. etc.

'Local councillor Juan Manuel Romano said the digits 269 on the number plate of the Ford Mustang Mustang Richard Hammond was driving were close to the 255 Britons killed during the 1982 war.
He added that the numbers 646 on James May's Lotus could be taken as a reference to the 649 Argentinian casualties.
Local war veteran association member Osvaldo Hilliar, referring to the Falklands by their Spanish name, said: "Our position from the outset was to demand the withdrawal of the TV team from our province, which includes the Malvinas, by 8pm on Thursday, with the warning we'd organise a demonstration to reject their provocation if not.
"What they did was an offence that through no coincidence was committed in the capital of the Malvinas, without any regard to local feeling about this cause.
"They said they didn't want to upset anyone but we know the British have lied for the last 200 years. We told them we couldn't guarantee their security if they didn't leave."'
