But you cannot drive it on the roads in Cyprus for more than 6 months. It would have to go into bond for a bit.

When you bring the car over the customs authorities will give you a yellow form that permits you to drive the car on the roads whilst preparing it for re-registration. The allowance is calculated as 6 months less any time the owner has spent in Cyprus over the previous year. Under certain circumstances it might be possible to get this form extended by visiting the Customs Authorities in Nicosia.

Have a look at the Cyprus Government website.
