A vintage Bentley with the same licence plate appears in TNA episode K is for Kill - The Tiger Awakes in the 1965 flashback scene where the members of the Salvation Army were killed by the Russian soldiers.
This one and the wreckage of the destroyed Bentley in Dead Men Are Dangerous are the only vintage Bentleys in TNA.
One of the villians drove away in this car in The Forget-Me-Knot, he's one of three male persons who ever drove in one of Steed's Bentleys and he's the only one except Steed who ever drove this car.
The front shield of his car is made of bullet proof glass, which has been damaged in Dead Man's Treasure.
Furthermore a TV screen can be installeted in the car as one can see in A Touch of Brimstone.
Penny (Death Man's Treasure) was the only woman - except Mrs. Peel - who drove with him in this car.

The car was purchased by his current owner, Mr. Perry Margouleff, in 2015.
