Wow. This is brilliant. Thank you for this. I'll definitely have to come and thank you in person as you suggested by email!
I've been in touch with Rob Heath (he of the 'RWH' plate) about this - he's certain he only ever had the car registered on RWH32, so you can now count this as confirmed. -Ed

And a couple from Modena Engineering - LHD 365GTC4 and a 288GTO [with the earlier Testarossa DAN57 oddly in the background]. Finally, a 288GTO that I saw driving along the road, followed and it pulled up at the garage at Keston Mark in Kent.

I believe GR 24 was owned by Gerald Ronson, head of Heron International, a major property group. Somewhere I have a photo of a Lamborghini Espada bearing the same plate, taken in about 1968 outside a Knightsbridge office block.
Interesting. I know Mr Ronson favoured the Celeste/Blu Scuro combination when he owned this model new (s/n 17353, RHD). He ordered the same spec for his 400 GT a few years later. -Ed
Dino 246 GT s/n 07316 - reg 777R (we have loads of photos of this when it was at Foskers during the same period - I'lll dig them out of the archive) Can't help with the Testarossa or Mondial. John has suggested above that GR24 may be a Ronson car and he may be right - GR107 was on Mr Ronson's RHD 365 GT4 2+2 when he bought it new, so the plate format on this LHD example matches at least. -Ed
Testarossa s/n 72699 - reg E731APU Daytona s/n 14513 - reg HPL 11K 308 GTB QV s/n 52077 - reg B308SVH 328 GTB s/n 78597 - reg F728MPB F40 s/n 77289 - reg E274BGT -Ed
365 GTC4 s/n 14503 - reg PYK836R (Can anyone definitely confirm or deny this? I have it down as this colour combo but reg 'PYR', which must just be data entry error from handwritten note as that is a Vauxhall Cavalier!) 288 GTO s/n 56341 - reg 288MN (I've never seen another chassis number associated with this plate, but correct me if I'm wrong) 288 GTO s/n 53785 - reg B582FGC -Ed
A few Ferraris attended this event back in 1994 (24 July 1994 assuming the date in the camera was set up correctly). The F40 parked in the front of the house (registration unreadable) was not the same as the Monaco registered modified one.

Testarossa s/n 73811 - reg E262DPK 308 GTS s/n 28561 - reg 935MYA 308 GTB s/n 28279 - reg GS85 Testarossa s/n 68315 - reg D361 JUC (full plate unreadable, but from the letters visible it could be this car) -Ed
This is #9117, which at this time was on sale or return at Maranello Sales from then owner, the late Bruce Owen. Mark
Hi Filling in a few gaps: I'd check the archive - the plate in the photo is 772R - absolutely gorgeous car F40 C686(MC) is clearly 89047 512TR 4AED blu chiaro/mag is 96059 Testarossa DAN57 is 65243- later D475CPL Mondial 3.2 Cab in blue NOW1F - never did track it down, but of 58 UK RHD 3.2 cabs, there can't be that many blue ones! More to follow... Robert
These are parked outside Tower Garage in Egham, home of Maranello Concessionaires. Ferrari 500 Superfast, then two RHD 250 Lussos together, a third one and a 365 California.
