Details: I have published countless photos taken on Bollo Lane in Acton, but this is (I believe) the first actually taken 'on' Bollo Lane! Don't worry about Ray's safety though, I understand that the driver was aware of his interest and had stopped to allow the picture to be taken. The subject is of course 8830MIT, the recently-delivered Mitsubishi Outlander car with the unique 3-letter fleetnumber suffix. For anyone new to the subject, since 1939 most service vehicles had had fleetnumbers which include a suffix to indicate the make (and sometimes the model) of the vehicle. Most suffixes were single letters, two letters being used in cases where duplication would otherwise occur (as in VW for Volkswagen because V was Vauxhall, FI for Fiat because F was Ford and SM for Smart as S was Skoda). There have been a few cases recently where duplication has been avoided by not having any suffix, as on the Volvo and MAN lorries and earlier Mitsubishi cars. 29th July 2019.
