I am sorry to say this but a previous reply is not correct. In order to register a vehicle in the U.K. you must have a permanent address in the U.k.. A visitor staying temporarily at an address in the U.K. is NOT considered to be a resident. The DVLA check applicants details before registration is allowed, if you don't show up on an electoral register, the DVLA database, or any of the other cross referenced databases, then you can't register. Neither can you register a vehicle on someone elses behalf.
Not being able to register a vehicle means that you can't insure it either.
It is no longer easy to arrive from overseas buy a car/bike, insure it and drive off. Unfortunately too many criminals and terrorist types have been doing the same thing, so it's been stopped.
