Your collective points being?

In the interests of consistency - number plate isn't an attribute of a class called car.  It's an attribute of another class. :-)
It can be a derived attribute of a car...  Using J.R. Abrial's(1) Access Functions we can define Car.NumberPlate as NumberOf(PlateAttachedTo(Car)).   The Access Function precisely defining the query required to return the Number Plate against a specific Car.

I'm pretty sure you're just agreeing with me :-)
