Classic British Flight Sim

Saw this after work while driving home.

Funny I wasn't going to take a right on Bunker Ranch Rd. I usually drive about another mile south along the
intercoastal to enjoy the view. .... fate?

Anyone know the origin of the license plate?

Simple Joe

"YH-" would be central london "S" I belive would be about 199-ish??

so it was registered in London in the early 90s?

I'd have guessed 'S" was for Sarf London.

Parked on the correct side of the road too!

Not for the States

Looks odd seeing a UK registered British car that's LH drive

Them Minis are getting quite hard to find these days.

Nice picture though.

I'm not sure about the location letters but the 'S' on the end shows Aug '77 to Jul '78

EDIT..
HA shows it to be plate from the West Midlands (Smethwick/Dudley). The Y means nowt and just extends the possible number of registrations from that locale

Hi Joe

Nice shot mate. Love those old minis.

That little girl is circa 1977-8.

Leif you are referring to the later S reg vehicles where the letter was a prefix at the start.

That baby is around 32 years old.

Thats because they are mini.

Sounds right, my first car was an S reg mini, but they didn't make the Mayfair 'Special' Edition until '82 which makes me wonder if the number plate is original to the car? Of course they could have added the Mayfair stickers to a late '70s model but it's not an obvious choice of special edition to mimic.
