I don’t remember there being two pop-up IOP press cars, so I was wondering whether this is it?

Reg looks familiar (press car) but I cannot remember.
Was Simon's ex-Harvey Postlethwaite?
I think Simon's was past that mileage a decade ago and the paint wasn't perfect.

Simons was a 1997?
I do remember there being another IOP press car with high mileage. It came up for sale shortly after I bought mine in 2003.

I know Simon’s had a very tough life. Bit of a triggers broom in the end. P27 OLU I believe.
Whereas this looks like it was originally R462 ULL. So I’m thinking different cars.
Interesting how cars CAN lose their identity when the reg is changed. Reminds me of my old LBB car. Crashed, reg changed. Then on sale at plans for top money. Before anyone jumps on this, I am not inferring the car currently at plans has a past. I’ve never seen it.

D'oh! Soon as I read P27 OLU I remembered that was Simon Prelude's. Had a slight curtain in the driver's door paint.

It's still alive & showed 103,000 miles on its current ticket.

Haha the only way it was triggers broom under my ownership was when it was rear ended (I declared it when I sold it) causing quite a bit of damage and it never drove the same again.
The Plans advert text is 99.5% the same as when Graham sold my IOP (now FlyNavy') a few years back!
