An interesting problem. I suppose an agency could help in Italy - although I imagine it will mean getting all sorts of documentation. Testico looks interesting, haven't been that far inland from Albenga yet.

We are just at the start of the process of registering a car with UK plates in Italy. My husband is resident. Nobody knows how much it will cost - extimate Euro 1000 to 1500 plus the fee for the agency. Before you start I would make sure the car is really worth it! We are having second thoughts and may yet drive the car back to England, sell and buy in Italy.

Pauline, it really shouldn't cost more than €500 to €600 so if someone is quoting you €1000-1500 I would shop around!

Why do you have an Italian car with Greek plates in Yorkshire in the first place? There must be a story worth telling there!

You have absolutely no chance in registering a car without a cert of conformity, sorry. We have just sold a UK registered car to an Italian and went through the re-registration process. It does cost around 1k as its a far more complicated process than just a change of ownership which is about €500. They have to do a cert of conformity check, they write to Swansea to check whether its stolen (and get a translation of that) they have to put it through a Revisione (Italian MOT) to make sure it complied with their regs, a notary check that everything is ok and then the change of ownership process once it has an Italian registration number (and plates).It all took about 1 month.Having said that we had the Landrover for one year and even with the cost of re-registration, we ended up with over €1,000 more than we paid for it because of the cost of second hand cars here, so it was well worth the wait
