...with a number plate difficult to forget! I wonder what number 2 is? Or would you prefer 007?

007 is available (I checked). As is 075-ROV.

Are Smiley number plates not allowed in NSW? Unusual to see straight rear plates on a 75.

Hey, no, no deviation from standard rectangular plates allowed in NSW. And no door dings :-)

Thanks for sharing. Very good vehicles. Do you recommend any parts suppliers from NSW (or anywhere in the eastern states)?

Haven't ever found any - all the parts I've needed I get from the UK.
