I'm fairly sure that every country in the world requires you to present a (previously unregistered) vehicle to an inspector physically inside the country to issue a license plate?

I think it's worth pointing out that UK is just a completely preposterous market for vehicle insurance. My third-party liability on my motorcycle for the season of riding here in North Europe was around 60 euros - that's from April through October. Someone with no record of no-accident driving with local insurers would probably pay more, but not by an order of magnitude. The insurance prices I hear from UK folks are definitely not normal.
