French Reg Day???

[s car go]

I'm off to Limoges today,first to have my sons plaster cast cut off his leg, and after to the Prefecture(The French equivalent of the DVLA) to see if I can finally push my truck into the French system.
I'm armed with my dossier of many papers, but I bet some bureaucratic jobs worth will find a reason to say "non"

Good luck.

Will you have to pay import tax ? If so how do they value a surf as I'm fairly sure it won't be on the French equivalent of a glasses book

No! no inport tax as the tax has been paid in the European Union when the car was new! Cost me today €220 to buy my Carte Gris (Registration document) and €40 for the new number plates.
Best thing is I can bring her back to England now,maybe for avalanche next year.Since March when the T & T expired I've been riding in a "grey" area of awaiting re-registration. It's cost we nearly €600 to get it into the system but with my puchace price of €1800,airfares,diesel and ferry of about €350,it's cost me in total about €2750,about £2300,but the same French LHD model goes for a minimum of about €6-7000,so i'm well pleased. The best thing is if it gets written off the insurance pay out at French rates! It's almost worth writing it off

Well done I need to get mine registered here have been putting off as I know it can be a pain but as winter is coming be handy to have it back on the road.
Did you have any problem getting Toyota to send you a non conformity letter?
Did you keep a copy of the file/documents needed? Would really appreciate any advice

Hi Rich
Another Ex-pat lurking! Where abouts are you?
Cert of non conformity was unexpected.I specifically sought out a 4runner because I knew it had been sold in France and thought it would ease the process,so was expecting a full conformity certificate. The guys at the CT station accepted it,and the Prefecture accepted it,and its not a case they never noticed because the certificate Toyota sent had specimen written accross it in bold red.
Is yours a 4runner or a Surf,because I think the Surf has a 12 digit chassis no and not a 17 digit number like every other european vehicle. The French don't like that because it dose'nt fit "in a box".
The reception number in France for the 4 runner is AU-2548-89-84.
I think for the Surf a DRIRE visit would be on the cards (€70).Any help I can offer you are welcome to.My mates about to start putting his Surf in the system as well now!

Good luck

I am in central Brittany dep 29

Ahh I see much easier for a 4runner.
Mine is a Surf so need the special visit 5 page document etc
Maybe we can share info on the documents with your friend I have registered a Jap imported Subaru Impreza and the paperwork is crazy to be honest I made most of it up or just copied the European info as long as it’s filled in they don’t mind you also have to make a plaque (I did my own with an engraver) with the axle weights on etc.
I get my LHD lights from Germany think I paid €90 a pair delivered new if your friend needs some let me know I will pass the details on.

Thanks Rich
