Car registration
Posted 08-12-08 at 08:27 PM by Donald Banning
good evening again!!
having read the various threads about registering a car in Italy it appears to be a complex and expensive process?
As i understand it if we bring a UK registered car to Italy we would need to return each year to the UK have its MOT? There also seems to be a time limit on how long you can drive a non Italian registered car in Italy? Is this enforced?
Does the cost of having to return to the UK each year both time and money make it more cost effective than just registering the car in Italy or buying a car in Italy
we would like to find the simplest and most economical way of having a car in Italy so any help / suggestions would be great.
We are based in le Marche and plan to move out permanently in the next year
Cheers Donald

We too live in the Marche and found that the easiest route was to buy an Italian car, which we have done. Much cheaper and easier! However, you do need residency papers to buy a car in Italy.Posted 13-12-08 at 09:52 PM by mammamia
