I raced against Mr Atkinson in the 80's when I was racing my E Type, he was in a lister the times I was against him. He's very handy and very competitive

I think he drove it to the Goodwood day, so no, I don't think he has. Why do you ask?

Yellow on the back, white on the front. It's the norm in the UK unless the car is super old then they can have black with silver writing.

Wasn't there speculation that Atkinson also owned a '95 GTR?

Re: Rowan Atkinsons F1 at Goodwood today

There has been talk of him owning a GTR, but I haven't seen anything to confirm it. In fact, Gordon Murray told tvrfreak and I that Rowan had purchased a longtail GTR back in 2005 - said it was the former Steve O'Rourke GTR #24R - but if that was accurate it's no longer the case.
