David Ford Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hi Andrew,It does get used (ln the summer when dry) but not as often as it should be - I have just returned from a short blat but the roads here are very busy with tourists atm. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmaninshed Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 The car is beautiful.....if only it was slightly older so not so long to wait to register abroad..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ford Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 madmaninshed - Thank you for the comment - much appreciated. How old does it need to be for registration in France? (does this age also apply to all countries in the EU?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Andrew Gilbert Posted August 10, 2020 Area Representative Share Posted August 10, 2020 I think 92 is the cutoff point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmaninshed Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Hi David and Andrew, It has to be over 30 years old, so 10 August 1990 is the cut off point at the moment. I am advised that after the brexit transition period, there will be further complications. To register as a car of collection with the FFVE, you first have to get a tax form from the local tax office. The car can then only be registered to the person named on this tax form. Once the transition period finishes, unless the tax form is already completed, I am told that the French equivalent of VAT will have to be paid, which will somewhat take the shine off things..... I can wait patiently for a couple of years, so about 1992 is my personal cut off point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Hi David, did I spot you late afternoon in Beaumaris on Friday? We were returning from a successful session of crabbing and I saw a car like yours as we were leaving. Gave you a quick wave, but as I was in a heavily laden red Golf, air doubt you noticed!

David Ford Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hi Tom, Yes you probably did spot me - I went for a short blat to Menai Bridge and back at between 5 & 5:30pm ish. Apologies that I didn't notice you waving, Beaumaris was very busy with people and traffic so I was keeping my eyes on the road. Crabbing from the pier is popular.
