Quick example - it would have been easier to register my Lexus than my wife's Mercedes, go figure!

Bon chance
Thanks, David. I will look up registering a car when the time comes (this forum has been really useful).

I have no assumptions about the MINI being easier to register in France because it's built in the UK by BMW <s>. I know that registering the car will be a process. Fortunately, the staff at the mairie in our village is really great and we have a super insurance agent in our village, as well.

Thanks, again.

Ray
