Can't find this plate on DVLA. @dsl or @dhill_cb7, do you have more luck?

Also it's a strange trim, no early 145s had painted door handles. No fogs and black side skirts would suggest a 1.6 L as GB didn't get 1.3 and TD: Link to "autocatalogarchive.com"

Nothing surviving for M301 BLT, but a real plate from early 95 - nearby numbers throw up some Fiats, so maybe a Fiat/Alfa UK fleet batch?? We got plain 146 1.6 (no fogs), 1.6 L (fogs) and 1.7 16v (fogs and lots of other trinkets) from Oct 94 launch

Thank you :) did standard trim 1.6 have black bumpers, like here? In the linked brochure I haven't found any table with equipments or anything mentioning bumper colour.
1.7 16V should also have painted and bigger side skirts.

No mention of bumpers for the three initial versions or any other body colour features like mirrors. 1.7 16v did get skirts, again no mention of their finish.

Thanks, mirrors (and theorically handles too) should always be black on initial versions, only Cloverleaf/Quadrifoglio got painted mirrors until the 1997 update ;)
Maybe this one is some sort of pre-production with non-definitive trim details :think:

I can't trace any 145 with black bumpers in GB, yes they can be very rare, but I'm thinking that even standard 1.6 got painted bumpers for your market :think:

Thanks :king: so indeed it's the base trim, now we have a confirmation that it had half painted bumpers for GB.
