I think these are something else.  You need a targa provvisoria. 

I have done some research.

From 1/1/2020 the rules changed.

Any italian car must have an mot (revisione) less than 6 months old. No mot or mot older than 6 months no documents for export will be issued. I believe this is to stop lots of fraudulent exports to africa etc.

The old owner applies to export the car, documents are issued stating car is to be permanently exported and both registration plates are handed back. This part costs about €80.

The car could now be loaded on trailer snd taken away, previous owner is happy as he is no longer liable for ownership taxes.

But you Johny Foreigner want to drive it home. As usual here in italy precise info is lacking.  Somebody must request temporary reg plates ( targa provvisoria) to be able to get insurance and use car for one purpose only, drive out of the country !

So far i can not understand if a foreigner can ask for these temporary plates.

Buying through a dealer would be easier as the dealer could apply for the temp plates.

Before the rule change ( pre 2020)is was easier as you could request export after car was taken abroad, i.e. car already driven to uk on italian original plates if old owner was ok about it and trusted you to send plates back. NOT ANYMORE.

I will try to find out more info , or set up a autoshite panda export agency myself.

"Should I apply for temporary plates to drive the car home?

With Italian transit plates and an export clearance document (foglio di via per esportazione) showing the route you will take, you can cross borders and travel to your home country.

Competent authority: Direzione Generale per la Motorizzazione, via Caraci 36, I-00157 Roma (RM), Tel: +39 06 4158 6236-6296-6297, Fax: +39 06 4158.6203, e-mail: [email protected]

The transit plates must be requested at the Department of Motor Vehicles (Ufficio Motorizzazione Civile) according to article 99 of the highway code (Codice della Strada).

Documents to be presented:

  • new cars: completed application form, payment receipts, declaration of conformity, authorisation for export, copy of the dealership legal representative's identity card, request for temporary plates, copy of passport or identity card of the owner
  • used cars: completed application form, payment receipts, certificate of ownership, authorisation for export, request for temporary plates, copy of the owner's passport or identity card, copy of the registration certificate.."

 

And Breathe, sounds like a lot of arse ache.
You could be able to blag it with a set of dodgy plates off ebay but you might well end up on the TV box in  "banged up abroad".

 

 

I "almost" bought a military thing in Sweden with the plan to drive it back on Swedish export plates.
There are companies that will insure a vehicle on a chassis number, Footman James springs to mind.

My plan was to drive it to Denmark and get a ferry to Harwich, just to avoid the Ffrench.

Three more children changed my plans a bit.

I just watched this German guy drive an old Alfa from Southern Italy back to his home for importation. In Feb 2020. No EE plates. Unfortunately he does not give any clues on the paperwork.

Surely they weren't still making those in 1959?!

1955 is more like it, but I think that is an earlier model.

If it wasn't for the fact Mrs BMH would instantly divorce me I might* be tempted to buy something from this lot, even if they are in the "lockdown" area.

I though exactly the same, but couldn't remember what it was called, also i thought i was the only one who had ever watched it, and sometimes wondered if i had made it up.

Surely nothing could be worse than No-more-nails-ing a garden shed to your tail lift?

Looks like their nan knitted the spare wheel cover from her bog seat after dropping a few Gary Abblets one night.

Unsure if this is just two washing machine doors  lovingly recreating that 'rolling eyes' emoticon, or an accurate replica of my dog's face when someone asks if it's a poodle.

'Laika Ecovip' sounds like it probably should be Ukranian for 'fuck the police'
