Here in Scotland we dont get huge numbers of foreign registered vehicles .

Cars

Id say that Polish and Dutch are most popular . In summer you can see German , Dutch , Swiss , French and Belgian . Less common would be Italian , Portuguese and Spanish .

Czech , Slovakia and Lithuania from time to time. Irish plates are present too.

Dont see many from Norway , Sweden or Denmark as you used too , i think this is because the ferries from Newcastle have stopped.

Rare ones ive seen were Russian ones for the State Circus , Ukraine and 2 Queensland /Victoria plates . US plates on Imports occa.

Never seen Faroes nor Iceland when there was a car ferry connection.

Trucks

Id say Polish and Dutch for foreign trucks . Then German , Spanish , Czech Slovakian ,Lithuanian , Turkish and Irish . Scotland is not a Transit point so we dont see as many as England .

In the Swiss canton of St. Gallen (the one bordering Liechtenstein), of course Liechtensteinian plates are fairly common.

Note that not all FL plates are black - agricultural and other special vehicles may have plates colored in the same way as Swiss ones for these:

Road_UK · August 31st, 2012, 02:22 PM

Not that common. More Germans and Austrians I'd say.

(Late reply)

Looks more like the Luxembourgian flag. That one has a lighter blue flag too. But that is not the full Paruguayan (or however the crap you spell that

) flag, this is the full one:

OT:

Most spotted in NL

- Belgium (duh, < 20 kms from border)
- Germany
- Great Britain (a crapload of cars lately)
- Poland (cars + trucks)
- Romania

And on another note: since about 5 weeks ago I see Portuguese plates on a a daily base. Always the same 2, on the same location

nerdly_dood · October 3rd, 2012, 03:24 AM

In Virginia: Quebec, Ontario, and an occasional German plate.

Portugal10 · October 29th, 2012, 08:08 PM

These days I do not spot many forregin license plates, most of the few I see in town are polish.

Today on the E4 I saw one BG-truck behind a P-truck, quite rare scene, but the camera was not ready so I missed the oppurtunity to take a photo.

TT=Trnava District, Slovakia. SK-cars are sometimes seen, but not often.

LDN_EUROPE · November 3rd, 2012, 12:55 PM

I'd say Dutch and Polish. Quite a number of Italian, German, Irish and Eastern European too.

I'd also say that PL cars outnumber all other forreign licenseplates. (Which are few now)

One of 2 romanian long time residents in Linköping. I have seen this car for more than a year now. This type of DACIA Logan was never marketed here, but the pick up version exists.

Here in PR, the only common foreign plates (and even that's pushing it) are from the Dominican Republic. Mainland US plates aren't technically foreign, but we see them as well, moreso on the west of the island than in the capital, due to the large US Military presence on the west.

Personally though, here in Puerto Rico, I've seen Luxembourg, Chile, UK (posted it on the other thread), and Russian plates. For a period in the 90's, you'd also see tons of Panamanian plates belonging to US Military personnel who had been previously stationed in the Canal Zone.

The Luxembourg plate was on a Nissan Xtrail, and it belonged to (I spoke to the driver) the Luxembourgian staffer of the Dutch Consulate in the Dominican Republic. The Netherlands represents Luxembourg in the Dominican Republic.

The Chilean plate was on a Range Rover covered with rally stickers.

The UK plate was on an old Land Rover near a USCG base.

The Russian plate was on a newer Range Rover that traveled with a luxury yatch that was in the port of San Juan over a year ago. I saw it being loaded with provisions for its next trip.
