bongo in france
Posted: Wed May 23, 2018 10:25 pm
Hi, i've been living in france since nov 2017 and since that time i have been through what i can only describe as an apocolyptic and maddening amount of paper work and waste of life, trying to register the bongo in france. The things i still need to sort is the headlights and potentially the back breaker seat belt on the middle bench, i have read alot about the sliding door issue, as i work in a garage i have some handy inside info on that and it appears to be a "cant be bothered with paperwork" issue on behalf of the tester.
We are looking and working towards getting a DREAL done for conformity to france but in the meantime will be heading back to britain for MOT
On the issue of insurance we came accross a company called "stuartcollins.com" who do 365,24:7 eu vehicle insurance on any age vehicle and will also do full breakdown cover, the only downside is that you have to pay the entire premium in one go, so if you want your bongo fully covered with breakdown cover too you should try them if you live in europe and are having trouble getting your bongo registered, and of course you'll still have to travel back to britain every year for the MOT
But we will keep trying to get the lady registered here and if we do we will let you know exactly how we acheive this, if it ever happens
