My LHD Car Italy

Why Italy?

The Italian second-hand car market offers excellent value. Due to high taxes on larger vehicles, you can often find premium models at attractive prices. However, buying locally can be challenging because of the language barrier and potential complexities when dealing with Italian suppliers.

Our local agents are fluent in Italian, ensuring smooth transactions. We recommend using our dealer network to source the right car from Italy, Germany, or France. When you purchase through our sales and registration scheme, you're protected by UK distant sales regulations.

Stress-Free Sales Scheme

While the import procedure isn't overly complex, the language barrier can make it difficult and time-consuming. That's why we recommend importing an Italian or UK-registered Left-Hand Drive (LHD) car supplied by us.

We encourage customers to take full advantage of our stress-free sales scheme, which includes free registration and insurance assistance. We also arrange delivery to your home address in Italy.

Registration Requirements in Italy

To register an imported used car, it must conform to Italian technical norms. The process requires specific documentation:

• Cancellation Certificate from the origin country
• Technical Specifications Form
• Registration Request (Form TT2119)
• Original vehicle registration + Certified Italian translation
• Roadworthiness certificate + Certified Italian translation

Import Taxes (VAT/IVA)

New vehicles imported from EU countries are subject to VAT (IVA) at a rate of 22%. A vehicle is considered "new" if it has less than 6,000 km on the odometer or has been purchased within six months of registration. Used vehicles usually avoid this if tax was paid in the source country.
