dave21478 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Well, the restoration of my 81 Mini van is going well, and although its still far from the road, I should really look into the paperwork A CofC isnt really feasable is it? Rover dealer? all VERY unlikely I would suspect. What about the DRIRE? are they likely to have anything on their lists? Given they didnt have my R-reg Vectra on their list, I am not confident. What would the next step be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike151 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 i was told by a german kid who was into minis that the belgeum army used mini vans, they may have had them in france Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I think that you have a good chance of success with DRIRE: I know of a French-registered LHD Mini van undergoing restoration at the CCSTA near Metz, so it would seem that they do (did?) exist in France.RegardsPickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 You might drop an email to:ABP 254 Avenue du President Wilson 93210 ST DENIS Contact: e-mail: [email protected] Tel./fax: 01 34 73 48 02 mobile: 06 72 61 61 25 They are authorised to issue CoC's for MGB's under the guise of Rover and I imagine Mini might fall within their remit.

Anton Redman Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 My understanding is that the car/van predates certificates of conformity so try facing it out when you come to register Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Driver Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 ABP should be able to provide you with a French national type approval certificate for a 1981 Minivan. Phone them up and ask for Patrick Vatier - he speaks English and is very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
