Hi everyone
Purchased my car , xc40 B4 RD from a main dealer in August 21 and collected the car in November 21, great car no problems. Have received this morning from the dealer an EC Certificate of Conformity, it basically lists the specifications for the car , the letter from the dealer states that the certificate must be kept safe with the v5 documents.

Certificate of conformity? Never had one of those before, I believe it may be something needed if I export the car to an eu country , ie I go and live in France and want to bring my car over permanently. Any other thoughts???

I was never asked for the Alfa one - it was an impressive document, I think I still have it somewhere. It was

My dealer sent me one some time after I acquired the car. It's a post-Brexit necessity for registering the car in the EU, so not relevant to most people.
