Dear all i thought I would give you all the news - I have spanish plates!!!! and without residency!!! In the end I went to a local garage who had managed to do it for someone else  using a local gestor. They required all the usual info on the car and importantly my padron (ayuntamiento home owner tax number NOT NIE) and eventually my car became legal on 1st Novemebr - a result!!!

Hi Yes it appears to be the non-resident bit which is the problem in terms of importing - no problem to actually buy in Spain.

Thank you all so much for you very helpful replies. I am fascinated to know that it has been possible to register a vehicle so recently so that should mean it is possible after all although Team GB have obviously encountered the same as me.

GuyT I know it will possibly be complicated to explain but what happened when they asked for your residencia - or didn't they? How did you do it? We followed the advised check list for vehicle compliance etc etc 

many thanks

Hi I am new to the forum. I have a house in Spain and have left my car over there. I have NIE and local council number but not residencia as still live in UK - I tried before to get spanish plates but could not without residencia. Does anyone know if this has changed otherwise I would need to bring it back to UK to get MOT although insurance company in spain is happy to insure it there so long as I have a voluntary ITV to say it is roadworthy

Many thanks
