OFFICIALLY...........You have to be resident to buy a car here, (crazy but true!) EXPECT problems with insurance here, the only insurer who will (sort of) recognise your many years no claims is Direct line Italy. Car insurance here is SKY (I mean massively SKY) high.........you need to sort it out ASAP when you get over here. I think they recognise it within your first 12 months. S

Hi. Thanks both and sorry for the delay - been away! Seems very strange that non-resident Italian citizen can't own a vehicle in Italy. I'm fairly (but not absolutely) certain that a UK citizen - provided he's got an UK address he can use - can be resident in Italy and have an UK registered car. Thank for the insurance tip - I'll look them up. Cheers, Geraint
