Email Our Italian DeskOur Experience
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.
Why Choose My LHD Car Italy?
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. If we don't have the right LHD car in stock, we have access to thousands of LHD cars across the continent.

- Roadworthiness certificate + Certified Italian translation
Taxes
