Hello all - a group of 8 of us in 4 cars are going to the Le Mans Classic in a few weeks smile

My car is a 50yr old Alfa Romeo, can anyone please confirm whether my car must carry a valid UK MOT for driving in France?

Thanks in advance wink

Thanks for the replies gents - just to clarify, in UK a vehicle registered as "historic" does not require an MOT.

Mine expired in March but is still deemed UK road legal

Can I drive legally in France without MOT?

Thanks

A word of caution, customs may demand a bond equivalent to 40% of a cars value on entry to ensure you're not bringing it over to sell!
