Do you live in the Netherlands? If not, I would strongly recommend to check if you can homologise such a car in your country. (France, I guess?).

We currently have a car from another dutch conversion company here in our workshop, and there is absolutely no way that this car can be homologised here in Switzerland. Customer is now probably trying to sell the car to someone in Germany, as it could be registered there...

@SilviaMarton@tooting.ch @frauxirah@chaos.social @Saupreiss@pfalz.social I'm in France, so I should probably find a local shop if I ever get the budget

Wasn‘t there a state subsidized program to convert cars in France ?

There have been quite some startups in France. But most of them ended up with utility vehicles. Retrofit was a nice and charming idea, but economically, it's a different story.

REV was probably the most promising, but looking at their website now, it seems like they have given up on the vintage cars as well...
