When we first arrived our insurers wanted two things from us for each of our two cars 1. Contrôle Technique 2. French registration Both relatively easy on a 1999 Astra estate and 1996 MX5. New headlights was all they needed. Insurers didn't ask if they weree RHD (but I expect they guessed).

It doesn't seem to matter so long as the vehicle is road legal. Sid I came into this world with nothing; by careful management I've still got most of it left!    Report
