judging by the people who have replied so far, you originally posted this in the Lounge??

someone has helpfully moved it to Spain. so you should get more sensible answers!!


actually the first reply with the trailer might be the safest option, but if you book an ITV with the first ITV centre over the border - I think you can do that online - once you are in Spain you'll be safe until you get there

your danger is in the UK, apparently UK police have been noting foreign plated cars, and if they see them 6 months after the fist noting, then you are likely to be pulled over and asked to prove where the car has been during those months. If you say the UK, then you are in trouble for not re registering, if you say back in Spain, then you may well have to prove that by ferry or tunnel tickets. A trailer seems a very sensible idea.
