    Help needed: Riviera VW camper registration issue

    Greetings all,

    I have bought from one the fellow Porsche enthusiast a 1978 VW Riviera Camper - Riviera is the USA equivalent of German Westfalia.
    They bought empty microbus from the VW factory and transformed those into camper. So far so good.

    There always a But in every story, here it is : the French MOT (road registration dpt) is arguing that my VW is just a microbus as per the vin nb, and I must prove the transformation was done 30 years ago / or a document (title / invoices etc.) proving it is registered as a camper officially.
    Got the US (Montana) Title which indicates among other data:
    • Year : 1978
    • Make : Volkswagen
    • Model : HSCR (? do not know what is it despite googled it)
    • Style : VN
    • NCIC : PC


    Is there any way the title contains the camper type ? OR get a certificate from Riviera (which I believe does not exist anymore) ?
    Any help appreciated !

    I can tell you that the term "HSCR" is DMV/PD for "HOUSE CAR", which could be helpful.

    Probably doesn't help that much!

    My '66 911 was sold there...

    More than you can imagine. The more information I provide with them, the better it is.
    Thank you.
