Renault Alpine rebody / registering in France

20 Jan 2019, 1:04pm
Came across this

https://smarlinette.fr/commander.html

I think it looks good and so is the finish.
My question is, how do they get it registered in France?

I have a friend who lives in France and would like to build a 250swb but doesn't think he would be able to get it registered in France.
Does anyone know if it is possible?

I bought my GT40 from France,

The owner was selling because he said it would never be registered there as they have a big dislike for anything not French (His words not mine)

I have heard of guys taking them out of France getting them registered and then bringing them back in.

Gary (Lancelot link) is a lot more informed on this stuff than me so may be worth asking him.

Thanks Jeff, any advice Gary?

It's basically a rebodied Smart Roadster, do they even refuse registering that in France?
