Also have 1993 Peugeot 205, auto, with Air con, with tiny mileage. Happy to sell or exchange for uk one
has anyone out there a UK registered car on English plates, that they have not yet changed over. I am grateful for replies to date, but would prefer not to have to change speedo, headlights, and attempt to re register. Gov uk, want me to jump through hoops.
When do you return and where are you based. We’re hoping to move to lower Normandy end of January. We have a 1998 Citroen Xantia bought in France from a Citroen classic car collector but now reg in UK Will have new mot in December. Just travelled to lower Normandy and back. Traffic was a nightmare but car was fine. Happy to exchange to avoid paper work

@yelrow Hi John, How soon are you returning? Are your cars on modern plates with the dept number separate, or the old style with dept as part of the number? Under new law they will need fresh CT’s (within 3 months), and may need access codes to transfer the Carte Gris to the new owner.
We may be interested, as we will be moving… It all depends on the timing.

Hi, Charles, peugot 205, oct 1993, auto and air con 115,000 kilometres, body immaculate, never failed mot… .Old style number plate. Volvo, 2008, new style plate. Volvo due CT, next jan. My understanding is that with change of owner, if recent, and new guy happy, it is not mandatory,. but, would not be a prob.
. Peugot CT, due Aug 2022… As for timing, april/ june, is our target. Any good? john
Hi John, that sounds promising and the timing is near enough. We have a 2009 Yeti with IRO 41K miles, FSH and immaculate. When I figure out how to PM you we can exchange emails.
Best wishes, Charles

Charles, excuse my lack of knowledge, what is IRO, and what is FSH. Thanks Stella for explaining how to email. I have learnt something. john
IRO and FSH… the mind boggles… 
I’ve found 36 meanings for IRO on google. My favourite is Indian Robotics Olympiad. 
FSH - Follicle stimulating hormone.

Charles, hi, got 3 emailsfromyoutoday, all the same, and deleted 2. Unfortunately, I t took away all 3 . Sorry, can you resend your email address. John
I think you have to make a certain number of posts @pantomnesia before that option appears. Perhaps 3? I shall check…
