Moulleur, JG, Deggsy & scimjim - Cheers chaps.
I always knew that using Barry Sheene's old number might be a bit marmite.
But it is something that reminds me of my mis-spent youth on two wheels.

Lighting Up A Dull Day:
The roads were damp, the sky was grey, but it wasn't raining, so out I went...
First stop was to the sign shop that did my racing numbers before.
They loved the car and offered to print up some replacements while I waited.
Not easy to see in the photos, but the original ones had a black layer on top of the yellow.
Whereas, the new ones have been printed as yellow and black in one go.
Reducing the diameter by about an inch and a half should make them easier to fit.
( Plus this allowed three roundels to be printed in a row across the width of the material to save time & money. )
Note: The new ones are 'toned down' a bit and actually match the yellow and black road signs they were working on when I arrived.
Unfortunately, the guy had to dash, so I will have to apply them myself one of these days.
Next stop was the petrol station, before I finally ended up in Sainsburys.
But I took another photo from the passenger side when I got home.
I know it is a matter of personal choice, but I do prefer the side with the number on it.
To be honest, I get the same positive reaction from people on either side of the car as I go along.
Best quote over the last two days of driving came from a small boy
"Wow! That's a Lamborghini."
Until next time, take care, Paul.
PS
I think
Mister Towed started the tradition of photographing your car in a super market car park.
But now everyone is doing it.
