In the episode its driven by Sir Gerald Bancroft (hence GB) so either they chose the character's name to match the car or used a false number plate, both are likely possibilities. The Avengers Rolls-Royce could have had the GB1 registration originally and it was transferred to later vehicles as they were replaced by the owner or owners. edit: 'GB1' is (contrary to the DVLA data) shown here http://www.bowfieldhire.co.uk/rolls-royce-silver-wraith-1949.html Its on a 1949 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith owned by Bow Field Hire, a wedding and film/TV hire company from 1991. -- Last edit: 2010-02-28 23:00:25

In that case, this is a 1965 car, by the 'C' registration (the GB 1 plate was false). /vehicle_260885-Rolls-Royce-Silver-Cloud-III-1963.html /vehicle_267167-Rolls-Royce-Silver-Cloud-III-1963.html
