I might order a few of these for engraving.

"Barry White"?

yes Before you sell it you should order one of the other plaques and have it fitted. As soon as a prospective buyer sees that they will be off.

Actually we're safe, the V12 Vantage driven by Tiff on 5th Gear was Mr Simon Ward too.

Barry Griffin did my V12V. Only the best for my car!

Of course it's bit of a gimmick but it's a nod to a once great Aston tradition so I like it.
Barry Griffin did my V8V (2007).

I'll have to check the V12V but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Barry.
Just checked: Barry Griffin also did my V12V. Good work, that man. smile

Ok, so Stevie Wonder - blind musician. Ray Charles - blind musician. Anne Frank - Jewish diarist murdered by the Nazis?

Did I miss something?

May be thinking of Stevie "Window" Winder. Best before he went electric.
