Renaud, et al
I have just helped someone go through the FFVE process in order to register a 1960's E-Type as a véhicule de collection, and the FFVE procedure is very similar to that outlined by Bob, except for the Certificate of Conformity and a few less photos. However, once the dossier is complete the waiting time is only 4 weeks. My mate now has his "attestation" and now just has to get the car through the Contrôle Technique and he can register it on-line. He's getting used to the "system" as he has two "moderns" to register as well.
There is no point in having a bloated bureaucracy if you don't put it to good use. The French are very good at it, although they have made the residency application for British ex-pats following Brexit a very easy procedure.
