[kriss5154]

Just thought add this, live in France near Chateaubriant, any of you near Rennes that need support found great guy, on internet look up British Pistons Samuel he deals in only British sports cars, he is very very good 😁

Interesting ..................................... seems he is a bit of a Lotus nut. Had a look at his web site.

Yes but put that aside he owns TVR and is great with TVR, I recently needed some bodywork done sorted out all for me, no extra cost

[Brithunter]

Thank you that is good to know. Also noticed he has a lot to do with MGB's from his web site. Have bookmarked his site as we are intending to move to France hopefully this summer.

Depends how things go but might be bringing over an MGF probably th 97 VVC one. Will more than likely be putting up the 75th Anniversary one for sale her in the next few weeks. Need to get her a new MOT before her current one runs out. The idea is to buy a TVR once the property sale in completed here.

Hi if you bringing it to France don't get UK mot better to get CT here, they have changed rules in France you may be ably to make adjustment to lights, if you email Samuel he will tell you what to do mention my name Chris

[Brithunter]

Thank you for the information. Have been told that you can reverse the inner light lens of the dipped headlight to change them from left hand dip to right hand dip. Have some spare headlights so will have a look. One set of spares are in bits so will have a look.

[kriss5154]

The rules have changed if the lights straight line not left or right that will satisfy ct rules you don't have to alter actual lights lens

[Brithunter]

The original UK spec MGF lights of course dip left. LHD ones are available but are scare and quite costly. I think it would be around £400-£500 to get new LHD ones. We shall see how things go.

[kriss5154]

Drop Samuel an email he will explain paid nothing like that

[Brithunter]

Will do that and perhaps he can help with some other questions about converting to French use.

Thank you for your help and I am not envious at all at you collecting your TVR! Hope the weather is good for you. We are in the process of arranging a trip over to view some properties in the next couple of weeks if all goes to plan that is.

Hi property that's interesting area done that why not call us we may be ably give you some advice 0033 2400 78225 chris

Just some guidelines first estate agents are not like they are in UK they work for you not the seller, be very clear what you want, be very very very carful of renovations, here in France if you use someone to renovate for you who is French will cost lot of money, also if you doing it yourself be carful what you are taking on lot of brits get caught badly.

House prices are very static here you will not see major price gain we have had house here 12 years with no gain, houses do not sell easily, buying system is very easy don't worry about that.

We live near Chateaubriant with all our many dogs, last thing land is not expensive here as I said if we can help just call not problem
