Hi, you should be aware that the maximum permitted time that you should keep a foreign (other than spanish plated car) in spain is 6months then it has to leave Spain for atleast 6 months. This is the law but many people keep foreign cars in spain longer, the spanish police are clamping down on foreign cars lately and you risk having the car confiscated (for good) if you break this law. If you are taking a car over with the intention of re-registering it on spanish plates then ensure that it has had absolutely no modifications made (i.e. different sized wheels or tyres, tow bar fitted without garage certificate e.t.c.) otherwise the spanish will not allow it to be registered in spain. If you replate the car in spain there will be taxes to pay, these are based on the CO2 emissions of the car and can be as mush as 14% of the value of the car. You'd be far better to just buy a car in spain already plated. if you need to transport ''things to spain'' there are plenty companies offering a oneway van delivery service. hope this helps
