I'd rather have the 'tina.

So would I, all day long....Interesting number plate though. Unlike the majority of the two digit/two number issues today (which are DVLA auction selling-off-the-family-silver plates) this is an original issue from 1931 in Birkenhead and came relatively late in the creation of new two-letter series. BG1 was issued to the Bulgarian Embassy in due course but BG33 was clearly already a retained registration when on this Cortina.

A friend's father had a Mk3 Cortina estate in that yellow, it's plate was 50PEA. I kind of coveted both.

Many years ago in the early ‘80’s I worked in Covent Garden in a building on Long Acre just behind and to the right of where the photographer was standing. My Moto Guzzi Le Mans II was parked in a bike bay on James St. behind where the Cortina is parked.

Typical BL Mini era - plummeting sales one minute and through the roof the next.

Somewhere by London Graphics ? I well remember all those Benlys parked on the pavement in front of the shop.
My office was in the other bit of Longacre in a little courtyard that ran between Bow St and Longacre , In 83 my CX500EUrosport was nicked from a bike bay in Drury Lane.Turned up undamaged 2 weeks later in Bow St .

I’m sure I’d have admired your Guzzi , walking past going to the pub or typesetters, there weren’t many around.,
