Automatic Peugeot 205 for £500.  Needs recommissioning but one owner and 35K from new.

 

And what a part of the world to buy a car from.

I'm struggling to think of a less desirable car than a Skoda Rapid convertible. Absolutely horrid things. The sub-genre of cars designed as saloons and then turned into convertibles has definitely produced some of the worst vehicles ever built - Visa convertible, anything by Crayford, Skoda, PT Cruiser, various Astras and Escorts... I can't think of a single one I wouldn't be deeply embarrassed to drive, and I used to own a Reliant Regal van.

note  - a Skoda Rapid coupé is an absolute stonking motor and I'd love one

I had a Visa convertible. Was quite ok and properly engineered by Heuliez who produced a lot of the special bodied Citroens, particularly the estate cars. 

Crayford on the other hand did not do stuff particularly well.

Apologies if you explained this before but can't the new buyer drive out of Italy and send the plates back when they get home?

Buying from private individual.

The previous owner of the car has to do the paperwork to export the car, until he physically hands back both number plates he is still liable for the possession tax here. The car also has ro have a valid mot less than 6 months old.  

If the previous owner was mega trusting in new foreign owner then 8n theory the plates could then be sent back to old owner. This is unlikely to ever happen as the risks to old owner a too great.

If the plates never turned up thw old owner would either have to do police report for stolen car or apply to scap the car, both of these have costs and time issues.

I believe it is possible for temporary number plates to be issued, but i can not understand how a foreign non italian resident would ever be issued with these as a non Italian resident can not buy a car here.

I will try to find out how it works as soon i will be regulary travelling back and forth italy/uk, maybe i could start import old pandas to the uk.

In summary, using a transporter would be relatively easy to export an italian car.

A question. Is it possible in uk to temporarily insure an italian number plated car owned by someone else ?

It's definitely possible to insure a foreign plated car, I have done it.  The owned by someone else is the issue I suppose.

My brother bought a 911 from Italy a few years ago and he had to go to Post Office or somewhere , where lots of shouting and arm waving took place , he had to pay €100 and the seller gave him some temporary plates , they’re still on his garage wall 9 years later, so I hope he wasn’t supposed to send them back.

Couldn't you get around that by answering the question, 'Is it registered in your name?' 

'It soon will be'.

That's what I did with the Y10, but it moved on before I ever got the V5.

Yes, you would think that a sympathetic broker who could understand the collection process would be able to help.

a non Italian resident can not buy a car here.

Does that not violate a wide selection of EU laws?

It probably does, but someone would have to bring it up as a case in the ECJ if they wanted the EU to help them change that rule. Until then, non-resident purchasers of pasta wagons realistically have to send a bloke with a trailer and buy the car 'for export' out of Italy.

The Brits and their ideas of EU wide laws.

To export a car from Italy search for Escursionisti Ester These are temporary export plates. They no doubt come with a load of headache paper work.

£2,500 for both seems quite good value for money

Really amazed that something as awful as a BSA Starfire is worth anything at all. Just the sort of bike that used to get dumped in laybys next to twin-tub washing machines and monochrome TVs.  Why? because bikes like the excellant Suzuki 100 happened.

They must have  been sodding awful if a Suzuki A100 is excellent by comparison then! Thee little Jap things are a good enough bike though, perhaps not the most exciting thing on wheels but have the right amount of strokes.

 

Meanwhile, in Shrewsbury...

If it's the same lad running that garage who had it around 20 years ago, he's a grand bloke.

'... and car charger as well which is not included in the sale' 

 

Pfft, I'm sure the  price of the 'car' reflects this.

 

£900. Reserve not met.
