The guys at Selectcarleasing.co.uk take a look at the many car model rip-offs that have recently come out of China.

In the motoring industry, a lot of pressure, trust and reliability falls upon the shoulders of the designers. The people who spend days, weeks, months, possibly years making cars better looking, faster, lighter, more eco-friendly and safer, so that we the consumers, can get that thrill we feel once we get behind the wheel of a car we’ve been saving our hard earned cash up for.

However, in China, a new breed of “designers” has risen. These designers are a little less imaginative then the other ones around the world. Why? Well, thanks to China’s notion of property, or lack of should we say.

As a result, China are copying cars and getting away with it. The cheek!

Take a look of some of China’s best/worst motoring rip offs.

An infographic featuring the most noteworthy license plates from movies.

Over the years, cars in films have provided us with some of the great cinematic moments – the cork-screw jump in The Man with the Golden Gun, epic chases in Ronin & the Bourne Identity, Steve McQueen’s alliance with his Mustang in Bullitt, and of course… The Italian Job.

There’s no doubt that writers & directors will spend plenty of time agonising over which cars to use in a particular scene to have the biggest impact. But we’ve found some amazing examples of film makers going a step further and using personalised numbers plates for the main cars in their films to add that extra bit of interest to the story.

The DeLorean from Back to the Future, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Bluesmobile and of course the most famous car in film history – the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger… they’ve all got fascinating stories, and they’re all in our ‘Famous Fictional Licence Plates’ infographic.
