A Zenvo

Also belongs in the crap numberplates thread.

Is this the thing which caught fire on Top Gear?

How does that number plate even work?

XZ 3NVO

That's not a DVLA issue number.

X23 NVO

Was X even a prefix???

I'm not seeing any "2" on that plate. It's clearly just a "Z" and note even an attempt at a "2".

Yes, but it's not X23 NVO. Sadly, I looked the other day and was about to cross-post it to the plates thread. Messed it up completely though and lost interest part-way through.

I don't understand why they'd go to the trouble of creating a crappy-looking plate on the demo car, unless it's a real plate. As it's a fake plate, why not just print up something nice that actually spells the name properly? Or are they just trying to appeal to "that kind of person"? Reminds me of those keyrings they used to sell in Halfords that have peoples named in chav-plate format.

I saw one of the new Bentley GTs the other day, looked quite impressive from the other side of the dual carriageway but I didn't get a photo, and I'm not sure whether they're unusual enough for here.

Watched Zenvo ST1 on Supercars: Dream Cars last evening - impressive build process and attention to detail.

[lucido grigio]

Mention of a new Bentley GT.
This one is new reg,don't know if it's special at all,it had Supersports barging on it.


Don't like the colour.

[addz86]

Yeah a Continental supersports according to the reg, all 700bhp of it

[thegreenhell]

Forget the Bentley, let's see more of that Integrale behind.

It's okay, it's primer. They're still deciding on the colour.

Is it just me or is the 430 not ageing well?

I thought it looked great in the metal. Sounded good too. If you put it next to a 458 or 488 it probably would look dated but in isolation it certainly seemed pretty special to me.

[echazfraz]

Just spotted in Winnersh Halfords, nice reg too:


These have definitely aged well in my opinion!

No, it's not just you, I think they just look old, and not in a good way.

^^^^^^ Yep and I bet the conversion wasn't cheap either!

Yeah but with the top down in the sun it is probably kinda nice

Until you roll it and die.

Reason I don't buy convertibles .... will make an exception for a CGT if I ever get the chance ...
