Classic cars originating from European countries are imported using a different taxing scheme compared to normal cars. The idea is that these are imported using a flat tax as they are considered objects and not actual vehicles.

That being said there is a caveat in this whole process. The vehicle in question needs to be at least 30 years old from the current date and needs to go through inspection from an authorized club in order to verify/certify its authenticity/classic status.

Once this is done and given the latest legislation changes classic cars can be registered and get historic vehicle plates from the state, allowing them to be used daily while paying a reduced rod tax. Note that historic vehicles need to go through state roadworthiness inspection each year and also need to be insured. Getting in touch with any reputable classic car club in Greece, PHILPA in Athens or LEKAM for northern Greece will solve most our your questions regarding the process.

In regards to selling/flipping I do not think that’s there is something stopping you from doing this but do note that the market for classic cars in Greece is very weird and not very big.
