Sell my car on French plates: FAQs
How long can a French-registered car stay in the UK?
Usually only a limited time before it has to be registered here, depending on your circumstances. If you're now living in the UK, selling it to us takes that worry away.
Do you need the carte grise?
Yes, ideally the original in your name. If something's missing, tell us anyway and we'll explain the options.
Can you buy it if the French insurance has lapsed?
Yes. We collect it, so it doesn't need to be driven. Just don't drive it on the road uninsured.
