GB45 is correct when he says a resident of an EU member state cannot drive a foreign plated car in there country of residence, the only exception to this is if the legal owner of the vehicle is in the car with them, also the 6 months rule for registering a car in a EU member state applies to the person and not the car as long as the car is fully road legal in the member state in which it's registered

Thank you very much for all the replies. We have tried going in to an insurance company and contacting other companies on the Internet and none said we were not allowed driving a foreigner car for more than 6 months, so THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION. And we have also tried taking the car to dealers but is COMPLETELY NOT WORTH IT, we have even been told they could only pay for the car 500 pounds, when selling it in Spain could be easily 5000 euro, crazy! 

The car is still registered in Spain because it was actually cheaper to leave it the way it is, rather than having to de register it to leave the country, as we thought we could keep the car in the UK till going back to Spain. But no longer thinking it :P 

 

Thanks everyone for the comments and help, much appreciate it !!!! :D
