Thanks. Not sure if it is required for temporary importation or only for permanent importation.

What do you call "Tempory exportation" ?To be resident in a country you have to be living there for over half of the year!

You can't get a certificate of conformity for a surf, flat,as it dose'nt exist.You can get a certificate of non conformity,and then go through the lines of a SVA,ask me how I know!! You can get a certificate of conformity for the surfs cousin IE the 4 runner,but all this is academic unless you are planning to move to europe permanently. As long as your vehicle complies with the regulations of its registration country,and you are not towing Zippos circus into town,there's didly sqawt the French police,or the Gendarmarie can do with your vehicle.

BTW I don't think anyone can issue a c of c for a third Gen because it was never sold in Europe???

Just on holiday for a few weeks travelling through and maybe on to Spain if we are lucky. Nothing confirmed yet though.

Well you've got nothing to worry about then!

Have a good holiday,and if you are passing stop for an icy one!!!

Concerned about getting nicked because if no weights on plate or V5 you should not be towing according to various sources. I was under the impression that on import a VIN was issued when it went through the compliance test as one is required for KIT cars.

Nah, not for imports, kit cars don't have any ID when built, so need some form of VIN number, on imports they have a Model number and a Chassis number, so still have a unique ID, and the DVLA uses the Model number to rego the truck.
