twingoman ◊ 2013-01-07 22:08	Had another look, but unfortunately not.
G-MANN ◊ 2013-01-07 22:20	I've looked at the thumbnail and now I've noticed it's an A-reg plate - A7*SUR, tried different numbers for the 3rd digit but they all check out as Fords. SLR or SJR must not have been real combinations (because they brought up nothing) So it looks like this Mercedes is wearing another car's plate. I'm guessing this is an early model by those alloys. -- Last edit: 2013-01-07 22:23:58
Ingo ◊ 2013-01-07 22:27	Yes, an early one. But these are plastic hubcaps, no alloys,
G-MANN ◊ 2013-01-07 22:35	Just looked at this episode on LOVEFILM (I have a subscription and it's available to instantly watch for free on the website) and you can see the badge at the beginning of this scene, it's a 280SEL.
Ingo ◊ 2013-01-07 22:38	The badge is long enough for a SEL
twingoman ◊ 2013-01-07 22:48	Sorry, I only looked at the end of the scene, when the car drives off.
