Any vehicle that has a collection registration card has the technical inspection deadlines extended from 2 to 5 years. This will save you a hundred euros but also reduce the risk of your car being banned from driving. So you have everything to gain.

In large cities like Paris, certain vehicles are no longer authorized to circulate during the week or at peak pollution. With a gray card collection, you escape all this. No restrictions will be imposed on you, no vignette, you can drive your old car when you want and where you want.

The new French number plates do not very good household with old cars. This is good, with collection registration certification you will have the possibility to put beautiful black and silver plates on your collection car.

If the vehicle you wish to acquire does not has never been approved in France but is over 30 years old, so you won't need to go through all that paperwork. You will just have to make a classic collector's license.

Collector's car status allows you to considerably reduce your insurance costs. You will therefore be able to drive on public roads with your vintage car legally and at a lower cost.
