A Mini Minor car hoisted onto a ship at Yalta, Ukraine (then part of Soviet Russia), for a voyage to Sochi on the Black Sea's east coast. It had been lent by BMC (British Motor Corporation) to John Massey Stewart for his journey across Russia. An intrigued crowd of people watches. On the door of the car is a small Union Jack transfer and, in Cyrillic, the words London - Caucasus - London. A large suitcase is tied to the roof rack.
