Hello
I live in the UK and want to buy a 46 year old classic car off an italian car dealer who tells me that at the point of sale, he takes off the orignal plates, along with the original Carta di Circulazione, to tsend to he italian auto department.
To UK import the car, I need the original Carta di Circulazione. The dealer will allow me to keep the plates and then send them back to him. wherupon, he will submit the plates + Carta back to the State auto department.
I have insurance. How can I drive it back + import it when the UK DVLA (DMV) want the original Carta di Circulation (not a copy) + Bill of Sale + Certificate of Conformity?
Do I have to become a 'resident' buy/ register + pay annual road tax & receive the plates and Carta? in order to buy/export the car?
Would the Italian auto department accept a 'notorized' Carta + Bill of Sale?.
DVLA will only return the original carta di Circulatione to the Italian auto dept when the car has been imported.
The car dealer is willing to drive the car to Ventimiglia and leave the plates for me to mail back to him from the UK. But he still has the original Carta di Circulazione, unless the Italian auto dept will accept the car dealer's 'notorized' Carta.
Does anyone know if the Italian State auto dept will accept a 'notorized' Carta?
Can anyone suggest a way for me, a non Italian resident, to drive & import the car into the UK?
Many thanks
