As a lot of people have said, it can always be worse...
I did and I got a picture of an old woman holding her tits. Thanks for that.
I worked in Tunisia for two years. I am 100% sure that none of the 504s I saw were less than 20 years old.
Africa is a big place and the 2006 504 was made in the equatorial countries. It was much easier and cheaper to import not-quite knackered old French, German and Italian cars than bring newer versions up to Med region.
Did you get a receipt?
You're going to need one...
The number plate has been transferred to another vehicle.
That car is now stuck in a mire of paperwork.
That number plate is valid and in use elsewhere.
That Bentley will go to auction and someone who doesn't deserve it will get to keep the money.
If you know where it was AND you have the balls, you could write to the car park owner and make representation that you have a valid claim on the car.
If nobody else comes along and makes a better claim, I think it's yours. You might need to pay whatever charges have built up in the year it's been there and you might need a letter from Bentley to get it re-registered.

Or you could have a LeMons winner, if you have enough beer to bribe Murilee.
Get an education you buffoon!
Don't you know who Tom Walkinshaw was?
Would you also tell Caroll Shelby he has a girl's name?

That's an awesome vid. On the edge all the way around, on two wheels at one point.
I cry foul...
It would be a great story if, in these financially difficult times, one of the idle rich was teaching his son how to drive like an idle rich person in the most obnoxious way but I just can't see it.
I suspect that guy is the victim of a prank because in the UK, l plates are used for pranks all the time. maybe even more than for learning to drive.

I'd suggest he's a prank victim for one of the following reasons:
He's just got the car and may already have bumped it or had a near miss - this is most common in the workplace car park, I've done it and had it done to me dozens of times.
He's getting married - the plates are sometimes put on the wedding car as it leaves the venue or on the back of the groom on his stag night.
He's a dick and someone like me stuck these on his car for shits and giggles because I'm a little bit jealous but I'm too much of a Jalop to admit I like that Ferrari.
Sorry, the important point of my message was that they're foreign registered so beyond the reaches of UK databases. Even if they identified the freaky-deaky number plate as being from whichever Gulf state it's from, the originating country are unlikely to have a record of the London address of it's registered keeper. They'd literally have to drive around London looking for the b'stard.
Or, y'know, wait outside Harrods?
@Xander Crews: Honestly, I've seen dozens. Most of them are foreign registered, too.
You don't see many branded Transits in the UK, though their subcontractors and temp drivers (ab)use rentals. Most of the big carriers tend to have a much larger truck to accomodate the racking and sheer volume of parcels that the drivers leave the depot with.
UPS use proprietary design trucks. Some look Benz based, or at least have Benz lights and wheels, some are of unknown origin.
Would driving it into the sea count as washing it?
Dead on!
My little boy and I went for a pointless drive in the sun last weekend in our '97 Seat Arosa (total piece of shit, Google it) and had a brilliant time. We didn't have a music mix, it has no radio.
I'm going a bit bald, can anyone suggest a suitable hat to wear with this black T-top number that will offer UV protection but still make me look cool?
This could be magnifique, but would probably be merde.
If I had one, I'd try and use it every day but I fear it would gather dust between October and March like the garden tools.
Lack of AC, using the bargain basement model as a platform for a performance upgrade, standard garbage seats, horrible wheels. The best thing about this is the idea...
Double hinged doors, man!
It scores mad points on ye olde "How jalop is your car?".
