I've encountered an issue with my Haynes Roadster build. I'm currently living in Hungary.

I had planned to get the car IVA tested with UK plates and then simply drive it out. I thought I could do this for up to 6 months a year.

I'm finding it difficult to find an insurer that will cover a non UK resident. Does anyone have any recommendations I could try?

The alternative is getting the car imported but this seems equally difficult.

Thanks for the replies, I've not given up yet.

I've seen it's also relatively easy to re-register in Spain after IVA but then insurance is really difficult.
I don't really want the hassle of trying to register it in Europe because I'm only living here for a couple years.

IVA next year is still my target. It also serves as a useful shakedown test for track days.
