Hi, Can anyone tell me the best place to advertise a caravan for sale in France please.  Any advice would be great. Thanks Sharon & Marc

Hi, We are returning from France next Friday with an empty van after dropping our stuff off in North Creuse (between Gueret and Chateauroux).  If anyone would like to use this space and wants it dropping off in South East England please let us know.  It seems a waste of space otherwise! Thanks, Sharon & Marc

Thanks for the advice. I clearly stated that the car is to be registered then 'left' in France ready for us when we move out permanantly. I have already sent off for the Certificate of Conformity and am in the process of exporting the car legally. Thanks again, Sharon

Thanks alot for the info.  That's a good price. What cover did you take out?  I see there are a couple of different levels.  Do you know if they would cover a car that is going to be french registered? Have you ever needed their assistance and do they speak only german when you call them? Thanks

Hi, We are going to France for 5 months and are taking a Mercedes Sprinter van which we would like to have breakdown cover on but cannot find a company to cover it for that long. Does anybody out there know of a company that does? As an additional (long shot question), we are taking a small car over to leave out there and wondered if we can get short term breakdown cover for it for the trip out.  I imagine there is no way around this but thought it would be worth asking if there is such a company out there that can help? Thanks! Sharon & Marc

Thanks for all your help and the quick responses.  I'll get onto it! Sharon

Thanks alot for your advice and I will do as you have suggested.   I am assuming that the log book will prove the age of the car?  If not any suggestions how else I can do this?  If not thanks for the useful info. Thanks Sharon

Hi, We are new to the forum and have found some very useful information. I have been reading the pages regarding registering a UK car in France which has been helpful but I haven't found the answer yet to one question I have. I understand we need to show a bill of sale/invoice showing that the tax was paid on the car.  I trust that I would need the original invoice for the car when it was bought new from the main dealer.  Is this correct?  If so, my problem is the car is very second hand (it is a Peugeot at least which is good after reading more on the Forum) therefore I do not have the original invoice.  Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you get around it? I have been reading about getting the Certificate of Conformity and understand that it is best to get that from Peugeot France (for obvious reasons).  I am frantically learning French as we speak but am not confident on the phone yet and wondered if anyone would know if writing or emailing Peugeot France would be a good idea to try or would be a big mistake?? I would be really grateful for any advice. Thanks, Sharon
