Norway VIN jackpot

[TEG]

Doing some random searching about, I just stumbled on this:
Registreringer av nye elbiler i Norge
Gives me a bunch of early VINs (including some North American sequences that I never saw get registered here) so I can see the ones that went to Norway. I assume a bunch of them were "gray market" imported by Ferdinand in the early days of Roadster.

Looks like someone took the site down...

Guess I spoiled it by mentioning it here...

Did you get the information you wanted before it disappeared?

 

[TEG]

I did...

But only for Roadsters. It was a wealth of information on other EVs I thought I might look into someday.
Also, if anyone imports more Roadsters to Norway, I won't be able to see that anymore...
But I think there won't be too many more anymore.
