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.
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

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

thats good, most gestors i know wont touch them.
