2814 Owning a vehicle in Italy for non residents

Can anyone advice me on the following: I am trying to purchase a vespa in Italy. I have been informed that this is not possible unless I am a resident!
I find this difficult to believe given that as a non resident one can own a house..... surely owning a house is a bigger deal than owning a vehicle given that also both countrys are in the European Union etc. If anyone can shine some light on this it would be greatly appreciated .

Hi Ken, welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll find it just as useful as myself. This topic has been discussed before, and is possible. Sdoj has kindly provided the link needed.

Quote Sdoj - I was the one who posted about this in the first place and I have checked the website and things have been moved around a little - the correct link now is:

If you have any problems please ask.

For those who want to re-register a car with UK registration - here is the link:

All you need is a ppermesso di soggiorno and to make a declaration that you have a domocile here in Italy - the domicile is the address at which you will register the vehicle. If you don't/won't have a domicile you can nominate a third party perhaps an "AGENZIA DI PRATICHE AUTO" at any rate they could help you through the process if they are well informed.

The relevant legislation is DPR445 28/12/2000.

It is not always easy to convince the people at ACI but with perseverance you should prevail.

It really is a shame this link doesn't work, SDOJ do you know the really link or the original post it was in?
