Sell my LHD: common questions
Can I sell a car on foreign plates without UK registration?
Yes. Send us the details and the documents you hold, and we'll explain exactly what we need.
What paperwork is needed?
The original registration document from the issuing country, proof of ownership and photo ID. If something's missing, ask anyway: we can often still help.
How long can a foreign-registered car stay in the UK?
Usually only a limited time before it must be registered or taxed here, depending on your circumstances. Selling it to us takes that worry away.
