Panda (Classic) 2001 panda classic imported

UK headlights, UK tail lights, VOSA check, M.O.T, registration and Tax. So after buying the car for the £300 he wants (otherwise he'll fit a Punto 16V engine) the car will need £150 or so in parts to make it UK legal, £40 for someone to look at it say "yep that's a Panda", £40 for the M.O.T, £25 for the log book, £20-£30 for the numberplates, and £130 for a years Tax. But here's the biggest problem. The car will need to be kept left hand drive because a right hand drive conversion will require an SVA/IVA test at £400 and the car will need to be insured as an import so expect to pay between five and ten times as much as UK Panda.

It's not really any good for parts either as it look more of a shed than a lot I've seen in twice it's age.

Just some question...is it legal to drive (even just to home town) on paperwork he's got? If I'm right it's not :(...
I know that if, for example, you buy car in Germany to take it abroad you could be temporary reg plate which includes insurance (for week or months - I'm not sure).
I would be great to replace my LHD Panda in Poland but there is lots of rust liket for 2001 and fixed wing will get rust sooner than later. My M reg Selecta got no rust (apart from door - but it's standard)....
Why all LHD Pandas are sooo far from York :(
