Mostly an urban myth, I'm guessing it will be a car registered in Chelmsford area.
Ford press/staff cars were registered in that area also old Ford rally cars when Boreham was on the go, there's a thread on here with the reg's listed.
Unless you can find out the real history, it's more than likely just a car registered in that area.

Found an old post.
Just means they're first registered in Chelmsford,Essex.
Not necessarily Ford owned..
I just found a post from last year
If you look at a lot of (pre 2001) Ford press cars and Boreham built rally cars, they will probably have one of the above reg plates.

Some of the ones marked ‘unused’, and some special combinations, e.g. N 1 GEL, were issued centrally as vanity plates by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency). Originally the letter group was placed first, followed by the number group, but from 1952, this order began to be reversed.
