Shouldn’t the Metropolitan be only available in white with an orange stripe down the side?

Can't help but think Boaty McBoatface when I read that name.
I wonder if anyone in LR read the number plate out loud as a word...absiis - abcess. Unfortunate.

Most often they will still read correct when viewed in a mirror (this LR example excepted)Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

As mentioned above the short number plates are usually numbers letter combination that will still read correctly if the image is reversed so that a single photo can be made to show the vehicle as either L/H/D or R/H/D depending on which country the ad is aimed at. Doesn`t work for rear views of the D5 however due to the offset number plate!
