Hi there, I've seen quite a lot of post about bringing cars in to France, but i'll ask again, but with reference to my car. i have got a 1995, Q plated Caterham classic, 1.6. Does any one think it's possible or am i destined to be ferrying it back and fourth, to and from the uk every year.

There are holomogated Caterham and Lotus 7s in France, but unless you can get a certificate of conformity, then you are likely to encounter problems like other kit cars do.

It is possible, but I do not believe that there is a guaranteed way of overcoming French fillibustering. Life is generally too short.

Hmm thats pretty much as i understand it. On paper it IS possible, but because of the paperwork, it's impossible.

@trunnie thanks for that, the fact that he is French and it still took him two years is worrying. The french quite like the french and are happy to help each other out, the English, not so much.
