Plate was visible, both before anything happened and then later when driving into lake on the first attempt when still roofed.

Bit of plate trickily going on here, in reality this is actually BBA 908L wearing CNT 994L plates, CNT 994L never was actually featured in TGR

Another number plate was used for BBA so it could be driven on the road legally.

CNT Number plate was used for the Grand Tours Pond Bug. The Pond Bug was actually BBA 908L.
CNT is now a regular top three Best at show trophy winner.

So TLDR: this is an 1972 (BBA 908L), NOT an 1973 (CNT 994L)
