Hi, I am thinking of going to England to buy a second hand car, saving money. Ideally I would like to sell my current car before I so this – so I do not finish up looking at 2 cars outside my house. My cunning plan was sell my current car, fly to UK & return with new (to me) car, pay VRT. The problem is if I sell my car (and have no car) I will also have no insurance – does anyone know if Irish insurance company will insure me while traveling from UK (on UK plates)?

Thanks
 
Yes Irish Insurance companies will insure you on NI or UK plates pending VRT payment and issuing of Irish reg.
 
If not on the UK reg which should work fine then they can also insure based on the chassis number which typically is inside the front passenger side of the windscreen.
