Great info thanks , great sting in tail too.
It was in France from July 2020 and Covid is my only excuse , all irrelevant as I’m domiciled in UK.
Im aware of the drive to MOT rule , I’m not sure if it covers a drive to London or nearest to ferry , probably Plymouth .
So that’s the dilemma … ferry , tax , insure , MOT a car I only actually need in France ( towbar.. slipway 800metres away)
It used to be we would fill it up to come over , but our boys 19,24,25 never come in the car at the same time and we no longer lug so much kit with us .
I’ve actually already replaced it in the UK with an EV which I pick up next week .
There lies another challenge, Brittany doesn’t seem to be that far along with charging stations .
Im sure i can make it work though , and it’ll only get better .
