It is a van Because the van has no tax, mot or anything on it, i was told to go to the DRIRE because the van is over 10 years old, the check it out to see if it can be french registered. CT it and then take the documents and a cheque to the perfecture and they sort out the registration The people whose van it is have gone back to Uk and have said i can buy the van off them. Before i do i am checking out the information first. I have also been told that you can just undo some screws and alter the headlamps, failing that they are 71 euros each brand new. There is no other document only the V5, they said they will do me a receipt if i buy it and that should be enough.
