Hi All I hope that you can help. We imported our UK car to France a few years ago, returned to the UK with work for last 2 years & took back the original UK registration - all done properly & very easily. We have just returned to France permanently & want to re-register the same car back in France - will the previous French status be applied? We have copies of the old carte grise & documents we used to secure French registration - can we submit those easily & have the original French registration reinstated? We wouldn't have to pay the tax again etc would we? Can we do this online or would we need to use one of the 'agents' that administer such registrations now? Grateful for any helpful advice. Thanks MKB
