Old Vehicle registration

Post new topic

Justjo600

Hello
I am seeking some help and can’t find anything via google.
Speaking to local Greeks, I just get the answer no, it’s not possible, but I can’t believe it’s “ not possible “.

Re registering a vehicle that has no paperwork.
Example an old motorcycle. Barn find as we would call it in the uk. Can be purchased with written receipt from current owner, but no registration documents. For whatever reason, fathers died son/daughter have no idea, other than it was their fathers.
I know it’s greece but there must be away.
