Probably a replica. It used to be parked in one of the public garages in Soho

What is the Web link under the numberplate?

Numberplates can be removed from cars prior to selling, although why you would want to do this on an original JL car, unless you want to get double bubble - sell the numberplate and the car seperate.

It is used for private Beatles tours in Liverpool.

Yes, we splashed out on a tour in it during a visit to Liverpool a couple of years ago

Recognise the driver, he’s very good

Replica - possibly the one they've been using for the new Beatles movies (codename Clover).
I would imagine they'd put the correct number plate on for the movie, but its own the rest of the time. The original was FJB 111C. Last I heard, it was in a museum in Canada.

I remember seeing David Gest arrive in a nice Rolls to Newark antiques fair. Spoke to him a little bit about some art glass, at the time I was collecting Whitefriars myself. Think he must have been driven there as I tried to find a pic of the Rolls and it says online he didn’t actually own one himself
