i don't think that is possible.
you should visit the UKBA for informations
you can get their contact by googling UKBA

hi hai 1002

yes, you need to contact the DVLA in Swansea. I don't have a contact number, but they are on the web. As a rule they are very helpful. My brother has bought a left hand drive for his move to Italy next year. The problem he had was getting insurance in to use it in the UK. You also have to change the head lights (legal requirement) because they are"facing" the wrong side. Hope this helps?
