Depends on the circumstances. Is it LHD? Is it already registered in Italy? Are they intending to buy it, then UK register it? Could you post the link?

It is rhd they are only renting it for £19 a day to take it back to England for the rental firm that has there advertisements stuck over the van and it is on an English 2024 number plate.
It is was kitted out as a ready to go hire van.

Another thing was there was of them in it 2 rather large adults a few older lads and a younger one so I cannot see how it could be run as a 3.5t

I've heard of this before.
Vans are built in Italy for a hire company in the UK, and rather than pay a delivery charge, they let customers drive the vehicles back to the UK for them and have cheap one-way rental.
Sounds like a win/win really.
