It looks to be chassis #061 that belongs to Rowan Atkinson. They have borrowed it in the past, so it would not be a surprise to see them use it again. >8^) ER
I don't know about California, but in Arizona it's pretty common for collectors to just have one dealer plate that they swap on to whatever car they're driving at the moment.
Yes - same F1. Reports have put the repair bill at £100,000. While the car appears to be a rather big mess, the accident was fairly low speed and caused mostly cosmetic damage because the nose of the McLaren went under the rear of the Mini Metro. It was not a huge shunt to the chassis. Here's a couple more images from its darker days. >8^) ER
Lost concentration and rear ended a Metro unfortunately. The nose of the F1 went under the rear of the car, picking the rear wheels up off the ground. It was actually fairly low speed, but the height difference of the two car's bumpers meant the F1 took it on the chin pretty bad. >8^) ER

No, I believe if you buy/sell a certain number of cars a year, you qualify for the plates. Basically the owner registers himself as a dealer. Could be wrong, though. Arizona is pretty car friendly in general. No front plates, you don't have to insure your cars individually if you have enough money (basically one big umbrella plan), etc.
