Sugli edifici e sui cieli di noi,
Sulle stagioni e sui nostri perché
Nuvole rapide, e un attimo che
Passerà.
Seen in London.
No trace on the reg plate, possibly a very recent change or registration.
A Google search reveals the reg belonged to a BMW i8 on sale in Kent.

2240 (E206 BOD), one of three Duple 425 integral coaches in the Western National fleet, is seen leaving Victoria in April, 1990.
Based on the Aston Martin DB4, it was David Brown's attempt to revive the Lagonda marque which he had purchased in 1948 and not used since the 3.0 litre cars of the 1950s stopped production in 1958. It marked a revival of the Rapide model name which had been used by Lagonda during the 1930s. The car was styled by Carrozzeria Touring and featured rear-end styling similar to the DB4 convertible, and an adapted Lagonda grille a little similar to Ford's Edsel.
The Rapide uses a 4.0 L straight-6 six cylinder double overhead camshaft engine, which would later be used in the Aston Martin DB5. Other new features included a de Dion tube rear suspension which would find its way into the Aston Martin DBS.
The car has dual-circuit, servo-assisted, four-wheel disc brakes, and most cars were supplied with a 3-speed automatic BorgWarner gearbox. The exterior body panels were constructed from aluminium alloy over a Superleggera tubular steel frame. All cars except for the prototype had their bodies constructed by Lagonda. The interior was upholstered in leather and had a burled walnut dashboard.
The car was hand-built to order only, with a base price of £4,950. 55 were produced, of which 48 survive.
The Lagonda has a shape quite like that of the original Jaguar XJ6, but without that car's tapered rear end. The front end has somewhat controversial canted headlamps (also seen on the Continental 1958-60, and 'Chinese-eye' Rolls-Royce).
Power, Beauty, and Soul: the core values of Aston Martin that have been captured in the marque’s first ever four-door sports car, the Rapide. Read entire 2010 Aston Martin Rapide article Including horsepower details, top speed & price.
