TIBET

Tibet was independent prior to 1950. It was invaded by China in 1950 and became an autonomous region of China.
The only known registrations were on two cars imported in pieces on yaks and assembled in Lhasa, the capital, in the 1920's for the Dalai Lama. These vehicles had plates with the registrations "TIBET No 1" and "TIBET No 2".
