1961 Ashley Sportiva
Registration No. RSY 255
This Ashley Sportiva came to my attention whilst I was reading the Fairthorpe Sports Car Clubs guests message book.
I have a 1961 Ashley Sportiva and before coming here (to France) I was a
FSCC club member. Every year (13) my car has been controlled technical here
(MOT) with no problems.
It's been off the road for 2 years now, so I asked my garage to check for next MOT which they did.
When the car arrived at the garage the owner said there was a new law in France and any foreign car must now have a letter of conformity clearly stating that it is an Ashley, this is impossible as the Ashley and others are not cars but bodies and therefore I do not conform and my car is illegal on the road!!
What do you think and do you have any ideas?
The garage man says I could take the car to UK and get an MOT and come back!
Waiting here, this is going to be a nightmare for all of us having to live in France.
Kind regards,
Stephen.
