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 @erik@mastodon.infrageeks.social @frauxirah@chaos.social @Saupreiss@pfalz.social My understanding is that if you can get it approved in an EU country, it should be legal in every country. Not sure I want to mess with that. Do you have a link to the car and its current weight/power? Would be interesting to see. Sadly, BE has fairly strict rules too.

If it's an EC type approval, then yes. If it's just what the German TÜV calls 'Einzelbetriebsgenehmigung', that's something only valid in Germany (that's the case for the car we have here now). And similar local approvals exist in other countries too.

@SilviaMarton@tooting.ch I did not know Manufaktur Marton. Looks great. The DS was quite popular in the Netherlands and these have to be on the road. Perhaps it helps to get it listed thrrough those too? citroends.shop and 2cvgarage.nl spring to mind but there are more such as eveurope

We are focussing on the Swiss market, as we can't compete with the rest of the world anyway, with the current conversion rates of our currancy and the slightly higher wages here.
