Importing from Italy.

[paul0843]

Hi guys,
I have agreed to purchase a 308 gtb qv subject to an inspection.
Car is in Italy.
What documents do I need to make sure I am in possession of
to ensure I am able to register in uk.?
Any advice greatly appreciated.

you need to have the Carta di Circolazione, and the Certificato di Proprietà
both documents will need to be stamped for export by the Italian dvla

You need a certificate of conformity which you can apply to Ferrari for.You must also surrender the reg plates to the Italian DVLA.

You do not need a COC as your car is Over 10 years.

You will need to register upon import with VOSA
MOT, this will be done on the chassis number.
Insurance with chassis number only.

You might need certificate of Mutual Recognition but cannot remember if you need this.

Trying to think what else you'll need.

Good luck

Hi Paul

Am seriously looking at doing exactly the same - any chance you can PM me so we can discuss?

My father has just imported a Fiat Dino coupe although it is a non runner and was trailered back. When he gets back from his current holiday I can ask what paperwork he encountered although he hasn't got an MOT.

Thanks - I have spoken to a couple of dealers and with poor Italian on my part and only passable English on theirs, communication is a problem. I find written communication via email has been patchy and uninspiring. Here in the UK we all expect dealers to be all over their cars and know every nut and bolt. I get the distinct impression the Italians are much more laid back about their Ferraris!! I'd really like to speak to someone (Paul?) this side who's recently been down this road.....
