There seems to be 2 kinds of poster on this site - this thread is a classic example -
1. There are those that say hey everything is OK to drive a UK car in Spain, the only problem is the wheel is on the wrong side…...................etc.
They are the people who are trying to be friendly and helpful but are in fact either intentionally or through ignorance totally failing to consider the legal issues involved.Living what I call ‘the honeymoon period’ ie hey the sun is shining nothing is a problem.
2. Then there are those that post providing practical advice based on Spanish Law and what you should be doing to avoid problems and finding yourself with the Guardia issuing you fines and impounding your car. The GC are now getting serious about illegal cars.
OK some will call these the boring doom and gloom merchants.
But I know which I would prefer to take advice from - if you are a person who wants to live full time in Spain and not have worries.
As ever the choice is yours.
By the way with my 10 years of living in Spain experience I would say get rid of a UK car or better still don’t bring it in the 1st place and buy a legal Spanish car. Safer, easier and cheaper.
