COC document or similar, please educate me...

[No Quarter]

Short version:
To fund my second E-Type project (64 OTS) I have to sell my first project (63 FHC). I'm in DK, so within EU. My potential buyer is in Italy. And he wants a documents that I haven't heard about before on cars this old. I don't know if he's right or wrong or his advisors are right or wrong.
He loves the car, price is fine, but he says he can only buy if I provide COC document. I don't have such a document, and that was not a problem at Danish registration (originally it's from OHIO USA). I had the impression COC was "invented" in the 90s, and cousin Google says the factories are only obliged to show up to 10 years old.

I searched a bit here in this forum before asking, only found this: "After a bit more hunting and a couple of phone calls I have the definitive answer....not needed for cars over 10 years old. ....Phew!", but that's in UK (before Brexit), not Italy

So, is there any way to get a COC-like document for my 1963 car, from Jaguar or ???

Or, are there any Italians in here that can tell me, and my buyer perhaps, that's it's not relevant on a car from 63 (already approved for registration in another EU country)?

Ideas?

Mikael, the only reference I can find for COC is for NEW cars. Certainly that’s all that’s shown on the UK Government website. Nothing showing for old or second hand / previously owned cars.
Why not ask your potential buyer why he feels this is needed for a 60 year old car, is there any details for it being needed in Italy?

Hope this helps

If the vehicle has been registered in EU, (in your case without coc) registration in other EU countries should be possible. The buyer will profit from your registration docs showing it was already registered in EU. My buyer had a similar problem buying my (US-Import) Mercedes to Finland. It did not have the COC Document because it was made for US market.

Thanks Martin

THe deal ended up not happening, the IMHO delusionel buyer came with new demands every week, seeming ly not understanding that I'm not a car dealership, I'm a private person. So my 63 FHC is still available ;-)
