The European Commission has requested that France changes its rules for registration of imported kit cars previously registered in another Member State, as they do not comply with the principle of free movement of goods within the EU and the principles established in the EU Directive on the registration documents for vehicles. Kit cars consist of a set of parts sold by a manufacturer and used by the buyer to assemble a car. Usually, the mechanical systems such as the engine and transmission are sourced from donor vehicles or purchased new from other vendors. Currently the French authorities refuse to register some imported kit cars as they claim certain data in the car’s registration documents are incorrect (such as the initial registration date of the vehicle), despite the fact that the registration documents were produced by the relevant authorities in another EU country.
