Hi all

I am hoping to bring over an old 60s mustang. When we move and would get it swapped to Spanish plates. Do they have special rules for older cars like the uk. 

Would the  materication (wrong spelling) be the same as a new car ie done on engine size. It would be about a 4.5 ltr petrol

Hi,

Don't know the answer to this one but there is a Company in Arboleas that arranged Matriculation.

It's called The Garage & they may advise.

Also CAT SERVICES in La Alfoquia ( a fixer Agency)'on Google Search. They may be able to help.

Prefer you get definitive info as the Matriculation process can be expensive.

Best Wishes,

Bob and Sandra

One thing you may not have to do and its the first (and most expensive thing) is headlamps, if theyve never been changed from USA spec ie lhd then that item wont cost you.

The vehicle must be more or less as it came out the Ford plant, tyres have to be the same spec, have to be the same on each axle, ie you can have two dunloos on the front and two conti's on the back but they must be the same rating as in the cars handbook.

How much else might depend on the ITV testing station, we like others left partners car in the very capable hands of the garage near albox who checked and serviced partners hybrid honda, did some work on the brakes we knew about, took it to Lorca and we then got it taxed and put new number plates on it.

What rules and regs apply other than for any other vehicle I cant say.
