coc ( impossible the car is to old)

RTI ( do it yoourself registraion)

french dealer's paper ( for these period it will be difficult)

I think if you want the UK registration papers then you will need to speak to the DVLA

no we want the french registration paper for this car.

[theelanman]

where has it come from and what registration is on it at the moment.....

its not a new car so it will already have title papers......

Lotus will not have these.......

[RODOLPHESPRIT]

for the old esprit, and old other cars, all the paper are on an old computer............

 

and this computer is dead!!!!!!!

[theelanman]

where were they first registered....of last registered.....

I guess you will have to return to the previous

[RODOLPHESPRIT]

the car was first registered in luxembourg, and second in belgium.

[theelanman]

I would retrace through Lux or Belgium.......

[RODOLPHESPRIT]

the french registration are very Fastidious

and they want the original ( not a printed copy) whith the good word ( in french)

[theelanman]

So Lux it is then.......you need to ask the vehicle registrar for a second document......not a copy an original.....

I would not bid money on it but if the car was first registered in Luxembourg you can try contacting the "Société Nationale de Circulation Automobile"

They are not reknown for their politness and willingness to help but you might be surprised:

this is a nice links but ..................;

it s luxembourg not france...;

it s like monaco, you speak french but it s not france

[Arregueti]

As you wish. I was just following up on Gareth's post. If you are trying to get hold of the car's first registration in Luxembourg it may be useful to get in contact with the relevant entity in Luxembourg. And you could even speak French. Or not.

If the car was last registered in Belgium, you should be able to get a duplicate of the registration papers. Ideally, the last Belgian owner has to apply for this. But it might work with a contract for sale signed by the last owner. Feel free to send me a PM or email, I might be able to help.
