I live in New Zealand - have Honda Odessey 8 seater and from the web sites its cheaper to bring over what do you mean by matriculate?

Found the site you gave me great ! Thanks Jeepers

Hi Jeepers

Matriculate means to register it as a spanish vehicle - in other words, make it legal in Spain.

Costs start around 650 euros for a DIY job and go upwards depending on what is necessary to achieve the objective.

You may have to get a "European certificate of Conformity" which can cost around 2,000€ and take ages (assuming no modifications required)

Without knowing the vehicle (I have never heard of it) you may be best to look it up on the manufacturers web-site

Take a look at www.tuv.com website and look for homologation.

I imported a vehicle, contacted the TUV centre in Valencia, e-mailed docs plus foto of VIN and received all necessary docs 3 days later, only cost around 90 euros.

That's different to matriculation though, that's only getting the paperwork sorted, you still have to get lights altered, ITV, vehicle checked that there have been no modifications, as these will have to be put back to manufacturers spec. The full cost of matriculation is much more than 90€ and remember his is NOT a European spec vehicle, suspect that it will be much more expensive than one from the UK.

I dont refer to matriculation........ my post merely suggests getting in touch with TUV and discover exactly what the differences are. Armed with that information the OP can then decide if it will be worth her/his while matriculating her vehicle
For information my own vehicle was not a EU spec either and was not from the UK.

Hi

Without ANY mdifications allow at least 650 Euros - any problems add more money
