Importing a 456 from italy

[philw696]

Guys thoughts on this one as i have found a nice 456 GTA over in Naples supplied orinally by Marenello in 2000 been out of uk for 6 years.
Want to fly over and then drive it back on my trade plates dvla tell me i only need to mot on chassis number have italian docs and they will most likely issue the original reg number.
Await your thoughts or let me know on saturday in Bristol but its an itch that wont go away.

I know some one did this off the Lanica forum, but didn't have trade plates assume these cover EU driving....but they had terrible bother getting insurance cover etc...let us know how much scratching the itch gets.....

Spoke with dvla Frank and they say i can use my plates and i will just put the car on my trade insurance policy and go from there.

That's intriguing Phil, is it a right hooker then?

 

[philw696]

Wow Phil that should be a corker for that money, presumably the cam belt changes are age related as ther are not mileage?

Phil, at the risk of sounding impetuous..... Buy it now!! ;-)

Personally though, not sure I could trust anyone who conversed in txt spk on an ad for a 20k Ferrari....just my thoughts tho!

Thats nice Phil..Good luck...

Could have had pillar damage too if it was a class D, needs close scrutiny. A simple door skin is strange to class it a D??
