chris40 ◊ 2007-08-21 23:22	I just googled Ford Thames: model number is 400E.

Not only was the Taunus Transit never marketed in the UK, even in left-hand drive form, that registration - if it had ever been issued - would have been a Northern Ireland one. And (as I think has been noted elsewhere) those number-plates were never made in the UK.
