For sure. In the last months I've seen several big trucks from Poland, but more from Lithuania, which had carried used RHD-cars from Britain, mostly quite new crashed cars, so insurance-write-offs.
Many VW and Audi they transported, also Vauxhalls like Astra and Zafira.
Now, since Poland is in the EU, it's getting less, but our Autobahn were full with hundreds of Polish vans with trailers, who carried newer crashed cars back home for repairing. Before the EU-access, they were always in parts. Engines and axles were mounted off and packed besides the carcasses. It was due a Polish import-rule.
But since a short time the traffic is going in the other direction
No kidding!
I've seen some Polish trucks, loaded with older Japanese cars (mid-90ies and older) with Polish plates, too, carrying them to the West, to Rotterdam for shipping them to Africa!
