afternoon MG-PHr's,

We are in the process of making a move to the Pyrenees and the spectre of exporting/importing our stuff has now become a pending reality.

Aside from a couple of over powered motorcycles 9that will need 'ahem' restricting to meet legislation, I have a 1500 Midget that in the process of 'theoretical' modification. I say that, as I yet to press start on the work.

Essentially, it'll involve an engine/drive line swap (to a K series), suspension modifications and some other cosmetics.

its a road legal project and I want to remain legal once over there. I understand through myth and rumour alone that non-cosmetic modifications are a no-no out there?

Can anyone shed any light on running anything of this type over in France under French plates/insurance etc.

I have posted this in the French PH forum too. Be great to hear from an MG owner that has been through this though.

Thanks
