Default End of residency/ leave Portugal with car on portuguese plates

We might leave Portugal for France. We have a car on PT-plates and we wish to take it with us to France.
We will follow the procedure in France to put is on french plates.

What do we need to do in Portugal with respect to the car?
Thanks

Perhaps also ask on the France part of the forum or direct with French authorities as to IMPORT of the car to France ... you may find that according to EU functions, as you import it to France, the Customs and Excise office in France will also conclude the EXPORT from Portugal, so you fill in forms in France and then France and Portugal exchange documents (that you provide) and information so confirm the arrangements. I heard of this being done between EU countries, but not specifically Fr and Pt ...

Default Re: End of residency/ leave Portugal with car on portuguese plates

I did this when moving from PT to UK with a PT 1970s VW camper
I did nothing this end, then when in UK sent a form off to DVLA with a £25 cheque and they imported it from PT. I got my UK documents back in a few weeks
(I also previously imported a previous camper from UK to PT when I first moved here in the 90's, that was a different story ... weeks and weeks waiting in dark decrepit offices with dusty sunbeams breaking through the broken blinds, listening to the sound of a woman whose job it was to stamp documents, thump ... thump .... thump .... thump ..... )
Although, that was in 2000 I think
So I would see if you can do similar in France before getting tangled up with PT bureaucracy
