Forget it, Henry. After Brexit it's nigh on impossible. The vehicle would first have to be authenticated by the FFVE (Fédération Française de Vehicules de l'Epoque) as genuine, which of course as a "special" it's not, and the UK V5 may carry details of the donor vehicle, prior to modification. On top of that the customs restrictions now are particularly onerous. It's a can of worms.
A word of warning to anyone thinking of buying a UK registered vehicle in France (of any make, year or type) is "CAVEAT EMPTOR" - get the seller to register it in France first.
For info on how to do it, go to www.ffve.fr (which is in French, of course) for the requirements relating to authentication and take particular note of the section referring to importation and customs clearance.
