I would be careful if I were you... could be dodgy and may be difficult to get any comeback if something goes wrong.
If yu do want to go ahead and everything is kosher, here is the
DVLA page on importing a car
"The following documents will need to be submitted to the DVLA local office, photocopies are not acceptable.
completed application form V55/4 (for new vehicles) or V55/5 (for used vehicles) a £50.00 registration fee (if applicable)
the required fee for the licence
a current British certificate of insurance
foreign registration document and any other papers you have relating to the vehicle
evidence showing the date the vehicle was collected (normally the invoice from the supplier)
evidence of type approval
the appropriate HM Revenue and Customs form HM Revenue and Customs forms required to register an imported vehicle
HM Revenue and Customs forms required to register an imported vehicle
a current British MOT test certificate (if applicable)
a declaration of newness V267 (if applicable). The V267 is available for download from the vehicle forms link below or a DVLA local office.
documentation confirming your name and address (a list of acceptable identity documentation can be found on the link below)"
If it is Italian registered then I think that means you are "importing" it, even if it is already here. The problem might be to prove it
is yours... presumably in theory you would have to notify the Italian authorities that you own it, or get the seller to register it in the UK first?
