Thanks for all the answers.
Essentially the vehicle will be registered in Cote d'Ivoire, I've looked at getting the registration done by post with all the documents there & getting plates sent back to me but it's not possible.
We have two problems:
1. We want to buy a vehicle in Germany (cost is cheaper than France) but not re-register it in France due to paperwork, time & cost issues. Hence the question about the 5 day plates, thanks Tim for the suggestion of the red plates, great idea - if it can go all the way south on them!
2. The vehicle is for the NGO, we shouldn't need to pay import taxes on it in CI due to it's use there, however if it's in an individual's name rather than the NGO's name from Germany to CI, we're wondering if we're going to be able to do that. Hoping so!
We don't want to send it by boat, the cost is a minimum of 2,000€ and on a personal level I'd be keen to make the journey again overland!
As for insurance, we have insurance in France that might accept it, otherwise it's going to have to go on an individual's insurance both of which will cover as far as the Mauri border for no extra cost. From there we'll buy insurance!
Thanks for any other ideas!!
