Certificate of Conformity

(1/3) > >>

robbie:
I wonder if anyone can help... I have a Land Rover 90 SWB in France and am about to embark on getting it on a French plates. Apparently, it needs a certificate of conformity but I dont know where I might be able ot get one from

Any Ideas??

Smego:
I have a mate who is quite good at forging official documents.

alaric:
Or, and it's just a thought, ask Land Rover UK. They should be able to provide it no problem.

Toyota Greece had no problem sending me one for my Land Cruiser before I bought it to the UK.

Alaric,

Saffy:
Check that really need one if vehicle over 10 years old.  Didn't need a CoC  when I registered my truck for first time in the UK. I did get an official letter from landrover to confirm the build date against the VIN to prove to DVLA it age. But that letter was obtained at landrovers discretion and not a normal service they provide (spoke nicely to LR customer service manager). I think normally you would have to pay to obtained details from the Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon (they might be able to supply CoC too  :-k) . If you haven't already then speak to a real person at the DVLA about permanently exporting your own vehicle out of the UK and they should help with the details without relying on speculation.

Range Rover Blues:
CofC is like a homologation or type approval thing, if your car isn't french market spec then it's basically a barier to importing your own car.  LR might well be able to help, of Gaydon if the original car carried an approval number for French market.

Basically it's a balnket approval that the car(s) meet French law, without it in the Uk we have SVA, whcih amongst other things grey imports often have to pass.
