Some intresting reading!!Just returned to the uk Lakedistrict!!

Not sure if you are residents or none!!You are right about them not insisting on an mot as long as the car is roadworthy, but if no mot you cannot get a licence, and to get a mot the car has to be brought back to the uk once a year.

The insurance through Stuart Collins is for uk  reg cars only, its for people like ourselves who are none reidents and who travel back and forward to Italy, leaving the car there, and returning once a year for motDave & Anna i asume you are none resident and in the same situation as ourselves if so this is about the only option you have.If resident then other option are available
