The licence plate is visible - if you can think where to look the answer will be easy.

Nobody wanted to react to my clue. It's too easy for the Pros.

It's a British licence plate. The marque has an online register which lists all the cars made.

I think I may have gone too far with helping out!  You've found the car - well done, and one point to you.

I was getting frustrated by the lack of questions. Questions get answers, and answers lead to clues, and clues lead to solutions.

It was called NHC after the builder Norman Hallet Coates. I think there may be an error on that certain site with the details - I don't think there was a Mk53. I think it should be a Mk.5.

Haven't been on here too much recently, due to working odd hours (well normal for me...) on remote sites

But that was a fairly easy clue to be honest.

Maybe there was and maybe there wasn't but it's entirely feasible... There was after all a Mk 90!

Derek Buckler was a law unto himself. I wonder if we'll ever run out of Bucklers to use as puzzles - we must have used more of them so far than any other marque, relative to the numbers produced!
