I kind of like the front view, but the back... er, um, its... different.
The registration is potentially quite valuable, back in Olde Englande. Of course the car would have to be re-patriated, and then put on the road- inspected and all that, but such registrations as "RMD 3" are valuable.
I went to a site that trades them:
https://www.regtransfers.co.uk/
plugged in the car's number to its search facility, and it turned out a close match:
"8 RMD" offered for sale for just £9990
Now, "RMD 3" might be worth more, it might be worth less- but its bound to be worth a little something, if it were marketable back in its homeland....

The UK doesn't issue personalized plates as is done in many American states. So these plates that could spell out people's initials can be traded for substantial sums.
This was discussed previously here:
https://www.britishcarforum.com/ubbthread...true#Post202901
I think the most expensive one was recently traded for something like £300K. I think that it might have been "S 1 NGH"... spelling the name "Singh"... but I could be wrong....

Len: “Half a million. That’s the asking price currently.”
DJ: “And people pay that?”
Len: “They haven’t yet. But in the scheme of things, these are the antiques of the number plate business. These are things like ‘V1’, ‘X1’, ‘E1’ and ‘Y1’, which are all issued in 1904.”
DJ: “Coh! And which is the most expensive one you’ve come across?”
Len: “All those four are half a million pounds currently.”

Hey, that's pretty funny!
I've actually *raced* against that car!
It's a Speedwell Sprite. All stock except for a 'cooking' 1275 cc engine. The car was once owned by Graham Hill.
Here's a race video from #11 following that car:
