Porsche in France

I tried to get my Porsche registered in France. It was registered in Luxemburg. I was resident in Paris.

I went to the customs office in Paris to enquire as to how to do this. The functionary asked for proof that I owned the car. I showed him the owner's manual. He confiscated it and said that I must pay the customs fees for importing the car before he will return the manual.

I left the office and never came back. I had the car registered in the UK with no problem.
