David, looking good!
I've just been helping a pal who can't speak French prepare a dossier for the FFVE ( Fédération Française de Véhicules d'Époque) concerning a Jag E-Type he's bought from a bloke in Spain. He wants to get it registered over here but first he needs an " attestation" as to its originality, similar to what you're doing for insurance purposes. There's no need for an inspector to see the car, but they do need a series of photos so they can make a proper assessment. They include:
Photo of vehicle from front n/s corner
Photo of vehicle from rear o/s corner
Photo of interior
Photo of chassis (VIN) plate on car
Photo of engine compartment
Photo of engine number.
The are other documents to go with the photos but armed with the paperwork from the FFVE he can get the car tested and then registered as a " Vehicule de Collection"
The French are good at bureaucracy.
