UK cars in Romania

[anomaly]

I have spent the day driving across Romania from the Bulgarian border to the Hungarian. This is my first time in Romania and I am astonished to see loads of RHD cars with UK plates on transporters heading south. They are all typically ten years old plus, run of the mill stuff (VWs etc).

Presumably they are MOT failures etc that are bought cheap to be fixed up. The RHD is clearly not an issue. The numbers of them are astonishing, we'll have no used cars left soon!
