Can't do that in Fr*nce and likely other European countries, all vehicles must have eCall and your vechicle might not pass the mandatory routine check you need to do once in a while to be allowed on the road. Hope you like biking a lot.

There's going to be a lot of value in keeping cars from 5-10+ years ago around indefinitely.

TIL:

> eCall was made mandatory in all new cars approved for manufacture within the European Union as of April 2018.

		It's one thing for something to be mandatory original equipment, it's another for them to be necessary for passing an inspection (MOT / roadworthiness certificates). It's not mandatory in many countries, AFAIK.
