go on Rich, do it, do it, do it ,do it 
what are the regs like over in france for this kind of thing.

I'm planning on moving the family to South West France next year, so have already discussed a LHD version.

Its a bit of a gray area.   As ive found out.  More down to dvla than anything. It can be done but its very long winded. Dont export it from the uk without a reg doc. If You have this its alot easier to register it  than an actual export certificate.

It is defo registered on an E '1967 at the moment. When it goes to France I will be purchasing a UK LHD chassis before registering it. At least this should keep it simpler..........hopefully 

V627/1, built up vehicle inspection report - take it to the DVLA, they have a look, check the chassis number, make sure it is still a standard pan, and that's it, they change the V5  - and if you are lucky you get to name it!   DO NOT try this with a SWB or tube frame buggy or Dave will be out here with his can of worms JPG

My current V5 for this Sandrail actually states

Beetle Sport

I can live with that 

cool

We then proceeded to load it onto the roof rack for the long journey home



When I actually got home, I left it on the roof as no-one was around to help me get it off. I woke up in the morning keen to get it cleaned and primed in charcoal black, but again no-one was around to help me get it off. So, as I needed to do this ASAP, I improvised and masked off the car and proceeded to primer it



I think I got a good finish too
