Team GB,

you're perfectly right - the new law modifications refer to only residents or business owners. The link, that you posted, says that "other than those which are here for vacation visits only".

So, there will be no problem for cars from outside the EU (or Spain) which legally come with the valid insurance and the valid MOT.

Great. The problem in my case was that spanish residents frightened me that I will absolutely have exact problems, if I have a car with russian plates in Spain. Now it is clear that this is not true while it is a "vacation car".

Concerning the other restriction - about the kids on the front seats of the car... sounds surprising that it was otherwise before in Spain. We have the same restriction for years, here in Russia (12 years old or 140 cm height).

Thank you all, friends, again for the discussion!

Wish you all the best

(and sorry for my English as well )))))

Thank you so much, foxbat, but the details are following:

1. here in Russia I must get the technical inspection (with is necessary, sure - this is "your" MOT, as I understand) - once in every TWO years.
2. I have a car insurance for the EU ("green card") for the whole year.

So, legally if it is not forbidden in Russia to go by car somewhere from the date of one MOT, and up to the date of the next MOT... so in this case I don't have to get these spanish plates?? I just have to go to the country of car origin (to Russia) once in every two years - to get this technical inspection?

Immigration officers on the border said, in Russia there is no limit for the car that we take abroad.

And ... let's say, I must (!) get the spanish plates (because car is in Spain for longer than 6 months per year, and all the foreigners all have to do this, etc.)... so, in this case I MUST take the car from the registry books here in Russia COMPLETELY???? and re-register it in Spain?? and pay all the incoming taxes if it is almost new?

And what if in two years - let's say, I sell a summer home in Spain - ... what? take the car from the registry books in Spain, throw the spanish plates, get the car back to Russia ... and re-register it again???

Sorry,

it is all not really clear to me.

Regards, Darrr
