Carlucian Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi everyone,I'm a new member and have had a look through the Driving in France forum but haven't come across an answer to my question (yet!).What is the best way to sell a French registered LHD car in UK to someone moving to France. Is there a website specifically for this?It would be the ideal solution for someone moving out there so I can't imaging there isn't one.I was going to keep my car, convert it and re-register it in the UK but all the hassle & paperwork have put me right off!Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Trollope Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Far better to sell it in France, where it will command a higher price.Failing that, eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Good advice, depending to some extent on what it is of course.Having said that the practicalities of doing so may prove even more hassle than selling in UK so ultimately eBay might be the course of least resistance with less chance of comebacks, buyer beware and all that.

Will Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 If you have a French carte grise, particularly if it is in your name, and the vehicle has not been officially exported and has the required amount of CT then there need be no problem whatsoever. Even if it doesn't meet these specifications it should still be possible, as long as it can be proved that the vehicle is kosher- i.e. not stolen etc, which should be simple with a certificate de non gage.

It's not just people moving who look for French registered vehicles but also people who have a holiday home and would like to keep a car in France.....

Mayennaise Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Pse PM me as we are hoping to return to the UK in the near future and we have a LHD that we would ideally like to swap for a RHD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Dare I say it [:'(], AngloInfo forums have one good use and that's selling and buying, you shouldn't have much trouble if you post your advert there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Aren't there a few LHD specialists in the UK?This one for instance, found by googling "left hand drive cars UK"http://www.lhdplace.co.uk/(PS: I have no connection with them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilly Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks Panda will look on there, I have googled LHD but was not getting the sites that I thought I would, sometimes its easier to ask someone else and save hours trawling the net. I have had lots of nice responses to previous queeries and no doubt will ask lots more before I get settled in France, aren't Forums great!
