OK, here's a thread about cars known more by their numbers than by the manufacturer's name.

Kicking off with the two starters mentioned elsewhere :-

2F
917

and I'd add the

F40
72
GT40
etc etc.

I am not a number, I am a free man.

Just about any number except 13 till over 100 applies to Lotus!

917 is only a number yet instantly recognisable and associated with the Porsche 917

F40
2F etc would not be recognisable without the letter being included.
