Note that the legend 'Celtic Spirit' below the windscreen has been covered to disguise its Irish origins! -- Last edit: 2015-12-26 23:58:05

G-MANN ◊ 2015-12-26 23:43	An Irish numberplate?
G-MANN ◊ 2015-12-26 23:45	Did this design exist in 1967 or 1968 or is it a total anachronism?
kudos ◊ 2015-12-26 23:49	Yes, I believe filming was done in Northern Ireland. If you look closely, the white Irish plate can be seen behind the fake one! The Supreme was launched in 1975, therefore it is indeed a total anachronism. -- Last edit: 2015-12-27 00:08:30
