cibup ◊ 2018-05-31 22:55	dsl wrote Gibralter plates and GBZ sticker?? As set in Jamaica, all cars have fake black plates, but with this sticker and being filmed in Marbella, it could be a real Gibraltarian one. Anyway, why "made for"?

I'd also be very surprised at finding Spanish Oxbridges (although Spanish islands - Canaries, Majorca, Minorca etc - seem to have taken UK stuff more easily than mainland), while Gibraltar is very believable, and Portugal plausible. In comparison, Spanish Minis are believable - I doubt if many were sold, but BMC tried offering them pretty well everywhere in the early days, which probably established enough interest to establish the Authi assembly arrangements.
