Eddie.
I applaud you trying to make a living mate, but fear your enthusiasm to seize every opportunity, may lead you into conflict with the moderators, as you may have posted a little recklessly, on other posts.
There may(?) be a proper way to make people aware of your services. :unsure:
Hope you can sort it with them.

Cheers

You need to register the car in your name. The best way is for you to employ a Gestor and get them to do all the paperwork. It will coast but it will save you a lot of time queuing and filling in the Spanish paperwork.

I assume you also have car tax? you mention insurance and ITV, would be better if you had the paperwork from ex owners and everything signed by them, but am sure a Gestor will sort, eventually:)

Re: Car help
 

dont assume anything.

a transfer can NOT be done unless:

- the tax is up to date and you have the reciept or a copy of.

- the previous owner is present, or you have a copy of the passport / nie / sales contract.

- and the car has itv.

good luck, you might need it.

or u could drive it as is. you CAN insure it, with them as the owner, if you have their NIE number. with all bills / fines going to them.. but that WOULD BE ILLEGAL, so is not recomended.

A friend here bought, before I knew, a spanish reg car in UK, he drove it over for his sil, it has taken 9 months to get sorted, turned out there were 2 owners on the log book, but our local Gestor has had it in hand.

I would definately not buy a spanish reg car in UK:wub:

thats good, most gestors i know wont touch them.
