![[Image: minii013322.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/minii013322.jpg) Spain and Turkey are mentioned as one of the filming locations, but it's RHD?? |

Looks like a UK build 1970+ Mini 1000 Mk3. But am puzzled by location - RHD as mentioned, UK-similar font plates, Brit cars (Mini, Rover, Mini pickup) plus Volvo and Renault 12. Volvo plate format ABC 1234 is unusual. I think there's another location beyond those listed in imdb - somewhere hot and a former UK outpost/territory with RHD, but struggling to identify where - Caribbean, Mediterranean, Pacific rim?? Maybe Africa, but most of their ex-UK countries have different plate combinations. |

In the scene they were supposedly going to Cyprus (this is supposed to be in Cyprus), but I'm confused because in another scene they had a yellow spanish Dodge (lhd) with seemingly the same white on black number plates. Unless they actually filmed some scenes in Cyprus as well? -- Last edit: 2020-09-20 17:34:52 |

I don't think that any of it was filmed in Turkey, not when there's a Seat as a Turkish police car. This was a British production, so they could have made authentic replica Cypriot plates in the UK and brought some RHD cars down to Spain. Perhaps one of the cars broke down on the day and had to be replaced. |

Cyprus was one of the places I checked in my numberplates of the world book, but the Mini's combination of HC 2261 (or 2281) seems sometime Oct 73 to May 77, and the Volvo's TCL 2211 impossible from the info given. Spain as a location could allow RHD cars to be sourced from Gibraltar, but the plates are total twaddle. |

Gibraltar is right hand traffic/left hand drive. |
