René Artois Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I have 1991 Lotus Elan M100 & 1975 Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto that I want to register in France. They are both LHD, speedo kms and headlights correct for driving in France.What is likely cost and will the Alfa due to its age have any benefits or disadvantages?

Will Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once...Both are over 10 years old so the cost of the carte grise will be halved. The basic cost depends (mainly) on the fiscal rating (CV) and (secondly) the département in which you live. Your Nouvion is in 14, isn't it René?Good moaning...

See http://vosdroits.service-public.fr/particuliers/F19222.xhtml, there's a table which tells you what paperwork you needSpider: over 30 years old, can take the easy route to a Carte Grise Collection - see www.ffve.orgYou haven't said whether they are they currently registered in your name in an EU country? Non-EU imports are more problematic.If you do a search on the re-registration subject on this forum (or indeed on others which cover similar issues) you will find plenty of opinions and comments, and just occasionally some useful bare facts. Beware those of posters who all too frequently use the expressions IMHO and AFAIK, go for those who give you info and refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

René Artois Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 They are both currently registered in my name in the UK. I am a UK citizen currently living in Italy, but will be moving to France, probably Burgundy later this year.I am of a vintage where I do not know the meaning of IMHO AFAIK or LOL. I thank everyone for their help and useful information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
