What sort of car and what was the total cost?  Just being nosey-we may import our Doblo.

Land Rover Discovery 3SE.  Will let you know total cost once the process is complete.

at some stage we'll need to do this - not sure yet whether to go your route or maybe buy one in France and take it over

I don't want to muddy the waters of this particular thread but we did also buy a second-hand car here.  It was advertised on sibuto.it and we went to Rome to buy it.  It wasn't overpriced and the transfer of ownership was pretty straightforward.  Doing it the �������� way isn't always a less desirable option.

As the board's a bit quiet and I'm interested in the outcome of this, I'm just bouncing it back up to the top

Right now we are waiting to hear if the re-register of the car has gone through.  We've had to pay for its importation, and most likely will also have to pay back taxes for the previous owner, but we are hoping that at least we will be successful.  I really hope that we might be able to claim some of these monies back but the dealer told us 'to the best of his knowledge' all paperwork had been correct and up to date.  Obviously we should not have been satsified with this, and should have asked for some sort of guarantee, as there was no way of checking this info at time of purchase.  Personally I blame the person at DVLA in Theale who rubber stamped the import in the first place.  I'll try to update here when I have some news.

Hi guys,

I have moved to Italy with my japanese import car, imported to the UK and registered in the uk but now in italy. It's a RHD Toyota Alphard 3.0 V6

I'm reading conflicting comments about registering here.

Can any one give me an A B C on what I need to do?

I spoke with an agency who said it's not possible to register a RHD here, another one said I need a COC certificate from Toyota in Japan.

I dont want to sell my car as it's my baby.....can anyone help?

I'm based in piemonte region up north.

Have a look at .

That was the point of the link i.e. so you know that your local ACI is telling you the right thing. They are the body you would normally deal with, even if they are not the ultimate legal body. If they are not then I would try another office!
