Lovely photos. I can't quite make out whether that Fiat 131 (or 132?) is wearing "HDT1" or "HOT1", sadly I suspect the former.
Single digit plates on a Fiat, class. I think its a Fiat 131 Supermirafiori 2000 TC - 1984. My uncle was an an Italian car nut back then, and p'xed a beautiful sporty 131 racing for that POS.droopsnoot said:

It must be the office pool car that wears the plate in between the Ferrari press cars. Here it is on a BB512 in that incredible Car Magazine test that I still remember reading instead of doing my homework - Countach vs BB512 vs 930 T vs V8 Vantage.
I think John Collins of Talacrest owns the plate now.
I remember that magazine article very well, in fact I may still have it in the loft somewhere.
From (not very good) memory, I think BR33 was owned by a Barry Robinson who had something to do with demolition???? Could be completely wrong.
I do recall seeing that number plate on a different car on the M25, a few years later and immediately associating it with the Countach.
