Re: Hideous Yank
The new number plates for the Buick arrived today.
So it was off with the wanky fake yank plates and on with the new.
Almost 100% legal now.
This plate size is not homologated for France, I don't think Les Flicks will notice.

Re: Cheap DS. WCPGW? Find out here.
I've offered to pay half the rego cost. This has been accepted by the present keeper.
He tells me he'll start the process on Monday.
If all goes well this beurocratic step will only* take 4 weeks .
With my Buick experience I fear it may take longer.
No rush, I love working on cars in the winter

Re: Hideous Yank
I fucking hope not.
The way the DS is going I'll probably be taking the Buick to Mezidon.
I was planning on taking my van and stuffing it with DS goodies.

Re: Hideous Yank
Buick is finally French registered
It's been registered as collectors car so next CT isn't due 'till 2024
It attracted some gas guzzler tax so just over 390 euros to pay.
US sized number plates have been ordered, cant wait to get rid of the UK plates with "California" on them.

Re: Cheap DS. WCPGW? Find out here.
It's not bought yet . French paperwork is hindering things. Not helped by the owner* who's name is on the log book has snuffed it.
Present owner* is waiting on options from prefecture.
Waiting is a thing the French do very well

Re: Cheap DS. WCPGW? Find out here.
Correct me if I'm wrong but things have been tightened up considerably. You are correct. Daft thing is that I've got to drag it in for a CT before I can register it. Which must be done within 30 days. I think that test will be just a check of vin number, no point in dragging it off the trailer. So ...

So, the million Franc question, just how rotten is it!?
Very.
