So......if you give a french address when buying the car, there is nothing to stop you bringing it back to the UK and using it for the trip back to France??

I have seen some cars on French ebay. Haven't managed to find anything suitable in the UK and thought it might be easier to buy a French registered car in France. Is it possible to buy a car and drive it away the same day?

We are thinking of travelling to France to buy a car, driving it back to the UK and then using it for our big departure to a new life in May! Is there any paperwork we need to provide when buying a car in France? How easy is it to fly over, buy a car and drive it back? All help gratefully received.

Thank you for the help. There is so much to find out about!

My partner and I, 52 and 48 respectively, are planning on moving to France. We intend to eventually set up a gite business but we will have to earn a living until that time. We have been told we will need to have medical insurance. Can anyone advise on what we need? Are we covered by UK NI contributions? If so for how long?
