The Downfall of BL! But who owned the 1.8SDL in this?

Ok don't shout at me. I know it is a program made my our nice friend Mr Clarkson but hold on a minute. The whole series of these videos does make sense from an overall BL prospective. But who lent them the midnight blue 1.8? I can't make out the registration! The Ital is Martin Green's 1.3.

This is part 3 of a few. Feel free to watch the whole series first to give a nice overall impression. It is entertaining!

It shows what a pants programme it is when Clarkson rips into the Ital for not being in the Ital Design archive (Har-har-smirk-smirk), when the bleedin' divot was sat around a table with the bloke who DID design it..... twunt.

BTW, I believe it was Malcolm Wiltshire, ex Publicity Officer for the MMOC, years ago before the Thunderbird puppet 'took over'...... :?
The classic car movement needs Jeremy Clarkson like Jenson Button needs a towhitch and a Sprite Musketeer....
