I've seen that yellow 458 spider posing around town with that awful numberplate.

The driver definitely looked like he was called Garie, spelled badly!

Although it is the actual car used by "Brett Sinclair" in "The Persuaders", it is a showplate. The owner of the car has tried to buy the plate, but the current "owner" won't sell.

In the 70s, when the show was being made, the plate was owned by Billy Smart. The plate was sold after his death.

A bit of the story of the plate here...

Here's a little history about the car (PPP 6H)...
