Neon ◊ 2014-03-31 17:02	I agree, and looking on google there are many of them with British or Dutch plate so it was sold also there: https://www.flickr.com/photos/44381054@N05/10876543445

Other 48xH records are either disappeared or different non-Fiats. ALX xxxH series may have been a Greater London allocation for unusual things, so it's also possible that Fiat UK brought in a little group of Vignales. "Designed by Vignale and reputedly only 100 of these beautiful cars were ever made and only 27 in RHD format" from ad for surviving RHD in UK, BLH 95H.
