The "plaque" badges were not used until 1972 MY on 2000's. I am afraid it is not a NZ import, the cars that came in from NZ were under the Free Trade Agreement between Aus and NZ and only were P6B's from 1972 to 1976. And, the NZ colours were not the same as UK production. This looks to be Almond. But this car has a vinyl roof, 2000s did not come with a factory option of vinyl. Finally, the rego does not fit, it is from a white 1971 2000, which has gone to the great car yard in the sky. I am sure the producers used a fake rego so as not to cause problems with the owner, but it is a tad interesting it happened to be from another P6 in any case. Cheers, Peter.
