Many thanks AnO -will get that done as soon as we get there then....Cheers!

Forgot to ask - the vehicle obviously has a UK MOT but presumably it will need a CT before I can get the rest of the formalities completed? Appreciate your help!

Will have to check!

Yep - all paper work present and correct. He didn't actually TRY to sell it - we had already made up our minds!  Life is too short to be too cynical!!!

We have just purchased a used left hand drive Renault Scenic on French plates for our forthcoming move to France at the end of the month. It seems cheaper to buy one here than in France and we purchased ours from a very helpful guy (French) named Andre at Heathrow LHD Centre near Heathrow. He even arranged the insurance for us in France - temporary for a month until we get there and can go to the prefecture to complete the rest of the formalities.He has told us we can call him any time if we need any help once we are in France. They have a great selection of left hand drive vehicles and are not a bit pushy. Just thought it might be useful for someone thinking of purchasing a vehicle before they move. Love this forum! It has been my major source of information since we planned our move. Keep posting - I'm sure I'll be asking for all kinds of help once we're there!
