This lovely picture, with a man admiring the shapes of a Nimrod in a Reading street, turned up recently and was sent over to me by Jono Barber. The Nimrod seems to be a new one to me. The number plate is hardly visible, but from what I can see it doesn't look to be any of the others that I have in the files. The picture was made in about 1975 in Reading's London Street. The building in the backdrop is Huntley Boorne & Stevens Ltd, which manufactured biscuit tins.
The Nimrod registration numbers I have been able to find on photographs are:
75 RYD
KPN 438E
WPJ 596G
WPN 438G (I think)
ARR 132H
GPG 649K
ORX 677K
APX 37L
Q24 NYA
Anyone who is eagle eyed enough to decipher this one?
