Hello
French I excused myself and for my English
This is a moment that I am on your site that is interesting
This is why I come to you I am looking for a replica of seven (robin hood or otherwise) of more than 25 years on the v 5 course that was well saved
While awaiting a response from you I am open to any proposal
Please

^^^ What Happy Jim says.
Nothing dodgy about the OP's request: there's an advantageous loophole in French registration procedures for cars over 25 years old.
See this link
The OP is only trying to bypass bureacracy in the same way that we'd try to dodge some of the more 'jobsworth' SVA regs.

Je suis en france aussi. M'envoye un PM si t'as besoin de l'aide pour la traduction.
A+.
Well my apologies if I got it wrong, it's just that it sounds to me like another of those identity transfers which seem to go on to circumvent the 25 year law.
A 25 year old Seven replica??? No-one made a kit then, I'm sure.
As far as I'm concerned transferring identities between cars is 'ringing'. As for dodging SVA issues...... you perhaps, not me.

But I have a doner age related plate on mine, 1974 so what he is looking for is out there, a 7 based kit with an age related plate in excess of 25years.
I recently sold a car to a guy in Holland, they to have problems registering kits, it was blackbird powered he was fitting a Busa, he gave me the Busa engine number and I did the paper engine swap here before he collected the car, whilst we may moan (maybe moan is the wrong word) about the SVA at times we got it easy compared to a lot of European enthusiasts.
BTW don't think SAM was condoning dodging the SVA just commenting on some of the more silly aspects of it (well what appear silly anyways)

I think he's looking for car to buy & import - not an identity transfer. If you import a car here that's over 25 years old (classic status), then you can re-register it with a French plate easily.
If not, you go down to the Drire for the local version of SVA - 37 different tests at €100 each, and you can't buy the rules beforehand as they don't want folks to do it. It's not impossible, but very long and very expensive. You folks have it easy, honest.

Apart from Colin Chapman. It was originally sold as a kit to avoid purchase tax.I believe the original series 1 Lotus 7 was first sold in 1957.
Although it was converted from a Spitfire in '93 though
