Careful, in UK, but says Carte Gris has expired and says it is MOT, but is actually ownership document, so may be impossible to register.

I think owner means the Controle Technique has expired - which it has in 2021 - the equivalent of the MoT.

The van should (should!) have it's Carte Grise with it - it's the equivalent of the V5.  If that's missing - virtually impossible to get it back on the road in France and more difficult I assume to get it registered here as it will have no identity.

It's quite high miles 234,000km  - 145,000 miles - so just depends how it's been looked after.

Great vehicles and now increasing in value in France. Not expensive if not rusted.

Yes, there is a pic of the expired CT, so confusion may be possible here.

even if all the french paperwork is MIA, it should be no problems to get it registered here in the UK 

a simple dating letter and a V55/5 and related paperwork would suffice to see it UK registered, V5 in hand on an an age related plate, the only sticking point is the question if duties have been paid on it, but thats not an insurmountable problem

so when are you collecting it? :)

'Unusual to see any of these left now. They were badly made in a country not known for quality, it's rusty, the fuel gauge doesn't work and it's basically a steaming pile of wank. But that's enough about the  Iv*co, here is my City Rover...'

To be fair, that's the 'improved' Mk2 CityRover, so it's slightly less wank than the original.

I have to wonder about ebay adds is there an option for an AI write up now?

 

"This Rover Cityrover is a reliable and practical hatchback that seats up to five people. It features a manual transmission and runs on petrol fuel. The exterior is finished in a sleek silver colour, while the interior has a comfortable grey colour scheme. The car has five doors, making it easy to access, and is manufactured by Rover. This vehicle is perfect for those who desire a practical and comfortable ride without the need to worry about the condition. Whether you're running errands around town or embarking on a long road trip, this Rover Cityrover has got you covered. Bid with confidence and bid now!" 

 

I have seen this style of drively description for a few cars now and it seems a bit inhuman!

All of the old Mercedes action here has got me looking at them f.f.s!  This cassette-era S-Class has more class than any blue-tooth and privacy-glass era barge.

Good colour

The Montego wheel trims work well on this.

Hmm Russian Police appear to have liked the Classic Range Rover Grill & front end treatment

Yes there is. I listed a few things recently and was offered the option. I can't see that it adds any value for sellers but maybe they are banking on it 'learning' and getting better/competent. 

The great unwashed will see adjectives like 'sleek' and 'comfortable' and think it's perfect!

Yup - it's a thing now.
I think you are meant to imagine a Clarkson type voiceover describing the car  as you read the words.
Mostly pretty wanky - I'm looking at low end shite and the description is telling me that a £1,000, 2008 car is the absolute dog's bollocks - nah!
