johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-10-09 20:25	That looks like a French plate to me. Four numeric two alpha two numeric.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2020-10-09 20:36	walter's theory is that the scene was filmed in the UK with a readily available LHD French car, which happened to be a Renault Alliance.

We have some likely examples used a few years earlier in The Sandbaggers (eg the VW Rabbit and Fiat 124 estate). There's also the Fylingdales radar base further away near the Yorkshire coast, similarly US-run. A UK plate for something this modern would be reflective (also for instance if it was an F plate), so this might be a US-base related temporary/military issue.

Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2020-10-09 23:06	So it's bought or borrowed from a US serviceman at Menwith Hill or Fylingdales, with a prop French plate. -- Last edit: 2020-10-09 23:06:53
