I am looking to buy a 50cc scooter for whenever I am over TRNC (hopefully in the long term this will reduce the cost of car hire).

Could anyone on the forum give advice as to the best place to purchase a scooter and what insurance and tax if any is required

There is an insurance broker in Lapta who is helpful, Steve I think his name is (someone will give you his name/phone number or you could go back through the messages as recently there was a thread on insurance). Also there is an insurance shop in Girne High Street just down the hill next door to the paper shop on the left hand side.

Harvey lives in Bellapais, but has large van for deliveries and wont rip you off.
