* (not sure) I think in Germany, when you change ownership of a car, both the buyer and seller need to visit a registration office at the same time. You'll be issued with export plates, number plates are linked to the person, not the car.
* In theory you can't drive a car on UK roads unless it is registered, so you cannot drive it home (legally). So you'll need to trailer it.
* Once in the UK, will need: registering with DVLA (>10 years old so won't need SVA), insurance, MoT, tax

when you buy the car you go to a place like the dvla in germany with the
person you buy the car from hand over the paperwork and they then make up a set of export plates there and then.off you drive the plates are legal over here for 1 month so in that time you get an mot and then register the car over here with dvla
any other questions give me a shout
good luck
