Lagaragiste

as a British owned French registered garage who import U.K registered cars and put them onto French plates,we may be able to shed a little light on the whole vehicle registration thing.If the vehicle is to be permantly resident in France it must comply with French law which states: Full French insurance is required(carte vert) any french insurance company will tell you that the vehicle must be on French plates within 6 months It must have a Controle Technique(a u.k mot is not valid) The vehicle must be registered in the Dept it is resident in There is currently a "clamp down" in progress over with regard to vehicles not registered on the French system (for the reason that it must be traceable by the authorities)

NOTE OF CAUTION If you are considering registering an LPG vehicle in France the system must have a cert of conformity for France which can lead to a lot of components being changed.For further information contact [email protected] We are a British owned French registered garage based in Dept 50 and have had a few problems with vehicles that we have imported

Do Not under any circumstances consider a gas kit installation prior to importing the vehicle to France as it will have to have a cert of conformity and the French have very strict regulations on GPL systems as well as a dislike of any component not produced in France. We have actually had to remove systems on vehicles that we have imported.SO BEWARE!!!! for more info contact [email protected] We are a British owned French Registered Garage based in Dept 50
