Vehicle Export : exportation de véhicules

[Invité §U16237zG]

Good evening,

 

Apologies for writing this question in English. I will try and translate it into French.

 

I am looking at buying an old bus in France and bringing it back to England where it was originally from. The bus is now registered in France. It was built in 1979, and is registered as a collection vehicle. However, the bus is out of test.

 

I have a couple of questions as the laws in France are very different to the laws in the UK.

 

1) If the seller is selling the vehicle to me for immediate export, do I need to register the vehicle under my name in France? .

 

2) Will the bus need a test control technique so that it can be sold to me?

 

3) If the answer is no for question 2, can I drive the bus to the ferry port without a control technique test? (we can do this in the UK for certain vehicles if they are going for permanent export)

 

4) If the bus requires a technique de contrôle test and has some major defects and receives a "S" stamp, can I drive the bus within the two month period and take it abroad where it would then be re-registered?

 

Many thanks!

 

David

2) Will the bus need a test of control technique to resell it to me?

 

3) If the answer is no to question 2, can I drive the bus to the ferry port without going through a test of technical control? (we can do this in the United Kingdom for certain vehicles if they are intended for permanent export)

 

4) If the bus requires a test of control technique and presents major faults and receives an "S" buffer, then- I drive the bus within two months and take it abroad where it would then be re-registered?

 

Thank you so much!

I believe you could register it to your name in France only if you were living in France, and as far as I know you don't need to register it in France to export it.

 

Regarding contrôle technique, for passenger cars it has to be less that 2 years old to go on the road otherwise you might get a fine - for buses I don't know but I guess this kind of vehicle has to be checked every year.

 

Maybe you could ask your questions in the dedicated section, you'll probably get wiser replies
