car insurance help needed please

in Insurance & life assurance
this is slightly complicated - please bear with me.

I am british and currently live in the UK.

I have just bought a second hand car which is now on my drive.
This car is let hand drive and registered on Italian number plates.

In 6 weeks I will be moving to live in France permanently and will be taking my new car with me.

Once I get to Fance, I will be registering the car there and will be getting a french number plate, however this cannot be done until the car is over there.

But here is my problem. The car is currently uninsured...

1. I dont think that I can insure my car in England through a UK company since it is on Italian plates

2. I dont think that I can isure my car in France through a french company since it is on Italian plates

3. I dont think that I can insure my car with an Italian company since I don't and never will live in Italy.



I really want to insure my car but dont know where to start......

any help would be most appreciated.

thanks

    You will only be able to insure the car once it is registered to the country you are living in.

    So when you register the car in France, you will be able to insure the car there.

    How are you going to get the car to France with no insurance?
