Nigel:
It shows how 2 cars from the same few months of registration
can have very different outcomes 40 years later. Saying that, I don't know
if the HPE has been restored at all.

In my, albeit limited, knowledge of reg allocations, 'blocks' of numbers were
issued to various dealers in an area. So it would be unsurprising to find
a CLT on another make locally. Blocks of 20 were common in my days in Kent.

I remember, back in Johannesburg in the mid 80's, seeing 2 Datsun Pulsars
parked on the same street with consecutive plates, both being some 10 years old! One of them
was ours.

SanRemo78:
I checked out the registration sequence around my Beta Coupe and there were about 40 (if my memory is right) registered with the odd Alfa thrown in. Of those there is another Coupe and a Monte Carlo still extant and taxed.

At 10 years old I owned an HPE (that I'd had for 4 years by then) when I bought a donor Coupe for the Stratos replica with the next number plate to the HPE....
