[edit] SD1 Estate

I think I remember seeing this in the Haynes Motor Museum (in Sparkford, Somerset) some time around 1997/8 - it was some sort of special SD1 anyway, and IIRC it was the same champagne colour as other pictures I've seen of the prototype. I'll check the mesuem guide book when I get home if I can find it. Don't know if it's still there though. --Zilog Jones 10:14, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

At least one existed — and it was indeed gold in colour. I'm pretty sure it's now in the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust museum in Oxfordshire, having been used by the head of BL for many years (and thus "kept in the family"). – Kieran T (talk) 01:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Professionals (TV series) trivia

An anon has added (again) something about the registration mark of Cowley's car. ( "As a reference at Cowley's name, its registration in the series was "MOO229R" (actually "MOC229P")." ) What on earth is this about? Is it some sort of "text-speak"? I can't see any relevance at all. Could somebody explain it (in the article, as well as to me, please!) — or I think it should just be removed as unreferenced, seemingly irrelevant sub-trivial original research. What a mouthful. But seriously, WTF? – Kieran T (talk) 01:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
