Absolutely nothing to do with Brand Photography, but "not a lot of people know this" ....

The three famous number plates on the Mini Coopers used in the original 1969 movie "The Italian Job" were sold for £19,800 in an auction at Cheffins Auctioneers in Cambridge on 26 January 2006.

Each of the Mini Coopers had personalised number plates that relate to parts of one of the best car films ever made.

The red Mini is registered as ‘HMP 729G’, which represents ‘Her Majesty’s Prison’ and Charlie Croker’s prison number.

The plates on the white Mini are ‘GPF 146G’, a reference to the Grand Prix Flag mentioned by one of the characters.

The blue Mini’s plates display ‘LGW 809G’, which refers to London Gatwick Airport (code LGW) and the flight number of the plane that the gang would have caught if their getaway had been successful.
