simbasupra Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Why must it be a UK car? are they not easier to import into france? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florian Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 To register it in France, the car MUST be originaly sold in europe. If it's not, I've got to change A LOT of part to have a chance to register the car. Every glass, lights, wheels, tires, seats, bumpers, seat belt ... must have the "CE" emblem on it...

florian Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Not a lot, but I don't want a 40 000 miles car. Something like the red one that was for sale couple of week ago would be the best for me. Around 100k miles, at 6k£. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 i doubt everyone else feels the same way but when/if i come to sell my uk spec car im not letting it go abroad unless i get more than my asking price. Uk cars are getting rarer and rarer and should stay here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florian Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 I don't care about : Miles Auto or Manual Colour The only thing I want is a car without rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope a last one will be for sale, just for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Can't you replicate the CE emblem and pretend it's a UK car? I don't think they'd check each car that comes into the country thoroughly enough to deem if it is infact a UK car or not. It's pretty much the same car anyway...

I vote for you Unfortunately, it's not so simple, because of a lot of things, like the VIN number, and a lot of things that I forgot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I was PM'd by another member from France recently, as there is a number on the VIN plate that must be there to legally register a car in France (according to him - can't remember what form it takes, but it's at the very top of my daily drive VIN plate, starts with an E I believe). This number is not on my Supra's VIN plate, and he said it was introduced on cars in Europe in 1996. If that's correct, it could rule out most UK cars as well...

Uk cars are getting rarer and rarer and should stay here. Definitely concur with that sentiment, but if a time came when I needed the money quickly, I'd sell to whoever presented the money first.
