Me and some friends are wanting to do a road trip around Europe for over a month and we're wanting a left hand drive car.

Is it possible to buy a car in Europe (preferably France) without having an address or any sort of connection to France? (We're all UK citizens)

Also we're planning on selling it when we're done so no need to de-register/register it for UK plates.

Having had a quick google it seems like a giant ballache to buy a car in france - Maybe find a cheap left hooker in the UK?

We have a 2003 rav4 you can buy smile You won't need to register it in your name. (you get 60 days from memory so theres not point)

Its insured and MOT'd until September, (Registration works differently here and insurance is attached to the car as opposed to the car and driver)

Only issue is I live in Poland....



I know that when you buy a car here (any car) they come with insurance and you don't need a permanent address to register it in your name as you simply don't need to bother if you are planning on punting it on after a month or so.
