A quote in "yours" magazine says the IOC have stated they want 3000 chauffeur driven cars for use during the olympics.

Now that s75 has past, how on earth are they going to find them?

There are still plenty of chauffeur driven cars about but they now should have a plate on the back

That having been said i haven't seen the repeal of S75 making a blind bit of difference locally

Nor I. I noticed a car liveried with an international hotel chain dropping off at the local station today. No sign of any plate. Unfortunately, I wasn't close enough to get his VRN.

Well there are 40,000+ licensed London PH available.
