Seen in Paradise Street this evening. Nice car for a school teacher? But then again I don't think these teachers pay UK Tax!
This car belonging to the European Bioinformatics Institute was seen last week parked at the Linton Lodge Hotel. I am not exactly what the European Bioinformatic Institute was doing in Oxford, however I think that have connections to the Wellcome Trust which has an office in Oxford.
I know that this is a very bad shot, just has I was started to take a few photo's of the President of Slovenia's cars parked in the very public High Street I was stopped by the police. This was the only diplomatic plate in the group of three cars, with the other being "1 SLO" which I think would have been the Presidents car. The reason why Slovenia is 302 is that all the 300 plates are for newer countries that have become recognised since the original allocation of numbers.
Spotted this afternoon turning Right onto the Abingdon Road, Land Drover with three Omani diplomats on board.
Been awhile since we have seen a Diplomatic Number Plate in Oxford but I saw one today driving down Queen Street, which is a Bus only road in the City Centre. The car with the 257 D 213 plate is a Diplomatic Pate from the Sudan Embassy in London.
Spotted on the A34 this afternoon, it belongs to the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, more than likely heading back to Reading that's where they have there HQ.
Indian High Commissioner and Staff visiting Oxford today, they had three cars in Oxford but I only managed to see one of them. This one was in Broad Street, the Commissioner was having lunch at Trinity College.
Outside the main entrance to County Hall in New Road Oxford you will see this old metal directional sign from the B4031 from the North of the County. You can see that Banbury was 6 1/2 miles from where this was taken. I think I will have another look at this and find out more about it like where is was taken from and when, sorry about not having all the information tonight.
Two diplomatic cars from the United States Embassy spotted parked out the front of the Randolph Hotel this lunch time, part of a larger fleet of cars, about 5 in total however only two had the diplomatic plates on them. Funny that the Americans are driving around in German cars? Touchy drivers about photographing the plates!!
Four cars, but only two diplomatic plates? The Nigerian High Commission were in Oxford today, I first spotted them outside the Randolph Hotel about lunch time, they had four cars in the party but only two displayed the country plates, the other two cars had standard plates on them.
Spotted this afternoon at about 1700hrs out side Rhodes House, the car belonging to the New Zealand High Commissioner, Jonathan Hunt. Hunt was a Labour Member of Parliament in New Zealand for 30 years. New Zealand's standard diplomatic numbers plates normally start with 218 or 219, however I guess the boss gets NZ 1.
Spotted parked up today in North Oxford, staff car from the United States of America. A Toyota??
This Mercedes looking a little rough was seen today parked in the Lion Brewery St Thomas. The plates are from the Maltese High Commission in London, Malta is part of the Commonwealth on Nations.
You will see a few of these X plates in and around Oxford as they belong to Teachers from the European School in Abingdon. The teachers I am told can only stay in the UK for a limited time, why they get Tax Free Diplomatic Plates I am not sure?
Spotted behind the Westgate Shopping centre car park, this people mover is from the South African Embassy, nice set of numbers 246 D 636.
