I've was clearing out some old LR mags last week and noticed GB001's plaque on the front cover of one of them. I quickly flicked through the pages and found a two page article inside on GB001!
For those who have not seen it, here's a copy:

Cool, has the personal plate been on GB 001 since new then ?
Flashing through my mind :
a 50th as original 1998
as restored by Simon 2012
could you tell the difference ..? _________________ Peter

Hi Peter,
I don't know if the plate's been on from new. The article was written a couple of months after registration so probably on from new. I'm sure James will know _________________ Neil

It's nice to see it's still going. Doesn't look too bad apart from the powder coat on the front bumper. _________________ Neil
