See it does work.

Sometimes I post item here and get NO response like the request for 15 and 16 inch wheel rims to help out other J owners. Other times I get lots of what I can only describe as criticism. In this case my last posting has produced a prompt reply and has identified the Austin 101's location.

'My guess would be Thailand. The registration plates look like Hong Kong ones where at least part of the movie is set.
From the movies website “Shooting of the film has occurred since the beginning of August till the end of December 2010 in Moscow, Hong Kong, Thailand and Norway. 70% of material was shot in Asia – it is a unique experience for Russian cinematography.”
Cheers

So thanks T.L. another mystery sorted out.
