May: Top Gear number plate is 'meaningless'

Top Gear presenter James May said the show would never “mock people about their war casualties” and insisted a controversial numberplate which sparked protests in Argentina did not refer to the Falklands War.

The show’s crew had to leave the country during filming after trouble erupted when it emerged they were using a Porsche with the registration number H982 FKL, which some people suggested could refer to the Falklands conflict of 1982.
