China is not the most likely country to be spotted in Europe. So you can imagine my surprise when I came across this Beijing registered vehicle on a local ferry in Norway this Sunday. The solo driver said he had left Beijing at the end of May. They were a group of 8 (vehicles or people I don’t know) that separated in Moscow because he wanted to go to the North Cape. The good news for British spotters is that they are all going to London for the Olympics. So keep your eyes open!

He’s got a photo of a Turkish-Cypriot car with registration AY 255 snapped in May 2008 in Northern Cyprus.    When I visited Alderney in August 2008 I photographed the same registration on a motorcycle.     What a coincidence!

In Turkish Northern Cyprus, AY 255 is captured by Mike Oldham for Vic Brumby in 2008. This could just as easily be a Republic of Cyprus plate - or Alderney - or Hong Kong - or Mauritius - or...... Brumby archive
