Perhaps the car is in the UK?

Because it's obviously a picture of California plated car in the UK?
Wonder what its doing here. Looks a bit too blingflash for a US serviceman's car which is the usual way we end up with US plated cars on our roads.

I'd imagine if you're rich enough to buy one of them, you're probably rich enough to get it shipped over here if you're staying for a few months. Saves the hassle of hiring/buying something, and allows him to ignore the congestion charge, parking fines, bus lane fines etc.

Embassy staff?

No. Around £5K I believe.
A California plated G63?! Anyone important enough to have the ability to buy one of those will surely have provided transport on UK diplomatic plates rather than his or her personal car

Important enough? It's a car not gold bullion. There are probably loads in the US and it could easily belong to someone married to Embassy staff. Or it could just belong to a rich American who shipped it over because he felt like it. Arabs ship cars to the UK all the time and we don't have a conversation about it; why is this any different?
It's an incredibly expensive car, as you well know. Generally speaking an overseas embassy posting won't include you bringing your $150k car along for the ride, I suspect the reason lies elsewhere
Government salaries Because it's interesting and noteworthy, how many other California plated cars has anyone seen in London recently? This is a thread where we share and discuss unusual daily car encounters - this is very much an unusual daily car encounter so we're all having a good old speculation as to why its there, human nature and the very purpose of this thread! Everyone knows the background behind the Arab stuff so they've stopped being noteworthy now.

On the way to Ikea on the M60 passed these two stunning RS2000's.

A few from today's local car show, it does bring a great selection of different cars, though youd think e-types were common as muck going off how many there were!
star of the show imo!
oh and a small clip of the gt40 leaving
