Old chesnut .. export ES car to UK for SCRAP?
Hi all sorry for bringing this up yet gain..
Have ES reg car ...fully legal for next 12 months.... live in Spain.
Relocating to UK and intend to use car for some stuff moving.
Intend to use in UK for may be 2 months whilst sorting out house/ UK reg car.
Car old not worth a lot of money.
Originally intended to drive return back to ES to get "Baja" .Fly back to UK..
end of story ...BUT
I fully understand the paperwork probs of trying to get car baja whilst in UK ..don't want to go this route... BUT
Looking at the Form "Solicitud de baja del vehiculo" there is an option to declare car "exportacion" which together with the guidance notes.."Bajas difinitivas por translado del vehiculo a otra pais" seem to suggest that on the production of usual ident/proofs etc ...then this is a way of removing said vehicle from road tax register?
I am thinking if this was the case then I could get my local gestor involved to action my declaration as and when we want to scrap car off in the UK.
Is all this crazy thinking..
Any advice welcomed and ta in advance.
Regards Norm

I think if you export then it has to be replated in the next country. Just sell it in the UK on eBay, they do sell, I seen plenty go for more than expected.
Anything that is legal will have a value to it.
