New purchase ..... first problems

[supernuz]

Hello everyone. I'd like to purchase a Westfield Megablade with English registration. The car is already in Italy, but to register it in Italy, I need the technical data sheet or COC. How can I do this? The VIN is SA9WS1W179X039147.

 

I'm 52 years old, Italian, and have always been in love with kit cars. I can finally buy one.

Ciao @supernuz and welcome . I assume you know some other Italian Westfield Pilots @mTT97 & @LoneWolf?

 

I'm sorry to advise the documents you're after don't likely exist! The only car Westfield sold into the EU with type approval was the Sport Turbo. 

 

I'm sure @mTT97 has a friend with a bike engined Wesfield in Italy, so may be able to advise how to help you.

I think they have a 20 year rule where the car needs to be 20 year old to get into italy i personally haven't sold a car to italy my friend has a contact in italy thats he's sold many cars to including a megablade and megabusa  so it is possible i think you just need to know how the system works

As far as I know, it isn't possible to register it unfortunately. The only "legit" way to register those cars at the moment, is through the CRS ("Certificato di Rilevanza Storica" in italian) which can be issued to at least 20 years old cars.

10 years ago the regulations were much "lax" and a few quite new Westfields have been registered, but right now that isn't possible anymore.

If you want a more authoritative opinion from someone who works daily with importing and exporting cars, just get in touch with Leo at Car4Passion (https://www.car4passion.com/), he'll be able to let you know if any possibility exists.

I totally agree with all that has being said from other members.

 

Feel free to dm me for any further advice (what to check, testdrive, etc.) once you have found the right car to buy.
