Attestation of Conformity has arrived for the Buick so it'll be on French plates soon.
There's a massive delay in getting these attestations allegedly because of the amount of Parisians
re registering their cars as classics to avoid the smog laws.
If I ever go to Paris I expect to see hundreds of diesel 504s smoking about...

Buick is finally French registered :)
It's been registered as collectors car so next CT isn't due 'till 2024 :)
It attracted some gas guzzler tax so just over 390 euros to pay.
US sized number plates have been ordered, cant wait to get rid of the UK plates with "California" on them.

That's excellent news. Would this be the same time frame you are looking into for changing the DS ownership?

I fucking hope not.
The way the DS is going I'll probably be taking the Buick to Mezidon.
I was planning on taking my van and stuffing it with DS goodies.

The new number plates for the Buick arrived today.
So it was off with the wanky fake yank plates and on with the new.
Almost 100% legal now.
This plate size is not homologated for France, I don't think Les Flicks will notice.

Is there actually anything le flickerie enforces?
I thought all they ever do is tolchock people exercising their constitutional right to protest?
