Due to Covid and perfect storm stuff I’ve had my old UK registered Volvo V70 petrol stood on my drive in France for over a year.
I wasn’t sure when I’d get back to it , but didn’t think it’d warrant battery removal.So battery wouldn’t take a charge at all(48 hrs on trickle)
So … I put a substitute battery in and it started first turn , I’d left the handbrake off so it just drove like I’d left it a week ( well up the road and back ) but now it’s out of MOT , no insurance and it’s scorned and I’m not sure what to do with it , I’d like to french register it because with the towbar out here its more useful but I read you now need to be domiciled here to register .I’m not sure that’s true but can’t face all the french paperwork to find out .
It’s only 100k odd miles and is probably too nice to scrap in France , even that is a paperwork fest .
I am loathed to scrap her tbh
