Thanks Norseman, Yes agree that she will need to be looked at structurally and will start with getting her over to a trusted mechanic to look her over and give me a verdict. Worth a punt, I think!

Thanks again for the info!

OK thanks for the info. We were told by Credit Agricole that a vehicle had to be insured even if off road. Not like SORNing a vehicle in the UK.

Thanks Datatek. She has been insured since being off-road. Why do you need to re-register?

Just checked and you are right Datatek about the road worthiness test! See link https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F1707?lang=en

Nice shiny Jim Armit! Have fun and welcome.:)

Thanks Wimblowdriver! Have a good day :)
