Driving to spain - Page 2

Hello to you...   Just to tell you what I have just done. I had a Range Rover but to put in through the (IVA—MOT) was going to cost a lot of money €700.00.  If your car comes with extras they must be ALL factory fitted

(As it came off the line)

So your car make goes on the testers screen from manufacture guide. You must change the Headlights/Rear Fog Light and Reversing Light to comply. Tyre rating must be the correct for the car (That is the last Letter & Number on the tyre reading) X4

Tow bars. Fitted In England are NOT excepted in Spain. They must be fitted in Spain and has a Towing Tag with rating. 
So you can come to Spain in your car a Tourist for 180days then you have to return. Make sure you have ALL your paperwork with you ALL times. 
I came back to England with my car SOLD IT. now I bought a Peugeot 308cc. 

Now it is only going to cost me €300

Do yourself a favour and Go to CATS

Hope this helps you.   Terry
   

The best way to go with car is Brittany Ferries to Santander or Bilbao   Driving down to Albox is about 700km   Who wants to drive across the Channel into France all the way down through the Pyrenees then all the way along the coast road AP7 (Forget It)

You will find that an open car here is not much use- to hot! You will fry remember for 3 months the sun will be out & the temp in the high 30’s. What you need is a saloon with good air con. 

Hi Juan.

Thanks for the reply.but at a flick of a switch my hard top roof comes back up and aircon on.no problems.🐱regards.

I purchased 2 brand new cars here in Spain 15 yrs ago, each is as new, low mileage and still smell of leather, the ITV test centre is the same test for every car regardless of age,mai was talking with ap Spanish guy when he just had his 40 yr old car ITV certain done, no problems at all with their system, they don't try to sell you anything or do any work on the vehicle unlike garages in thecUK.

The rules are the same for everyone, and don't forget, it costs you a fee to have it tested if something is wrong then you can go to a garage and get it fixed ,my ou don't pay twice, so don't get caught by having pre ITV work done and paying for something that the ITV centre might think is ok.

Hello to you.  Yes you right.  My 308cc is a Hard Top that folds in boot. I have Air Con as well.  Many thanks.  Terry

Have you thought of buying  a LHD model in the UK (slightly cheaper) and taking that with you,you would still need lamps etc but at least then you have a car more useable,little things like joining junctions/motorways etc are harder in a rhd

Hi Bob

Or you could consider buying our white Peugeot 308 convertible, available at the end of June and not have to bother with matriculation etc, which can be expensive. Much more straightforward. Just a thought.

Hello.  How mush are you looking for your 308cc. What year and mileage.   Terry
