Techiman ◊ 2013-06-24 14:41	Nope, not a 2+2. Checked out the film and it is definitely a series 1 FHC. The 'bucket' seats also indicate the early 3.8 model.
dsl ◊ 2013-06-24 14:45	Fair enough. I still think plate ends in F, but 123 ABC format therefore likely.

This is a correct period plate for a 1962 UK car but not necessarily the original one. It was registered thus in 1986 when the Jaguar Club register was printed that year, and in 1988 when the film was made. The current registration 2014 may well be different though unlikely if the car is still registered in the UK. Current owner unknown.

Looks as if the car has always been 60 CUF, and still is.
