Re: Taking our car to Spain...few tricky bits??
You're going to have to be way more specific than that for anyone worth their while to give you an accurate reply and have you still not bought one yet? You've been asking me the same question for 3 odd years now?
Also it's worth noting that the Doblo is a commerical vehicle in Spain and thus subject to different rules and regulations.
Confused! hope it all pans out for you and you're able to move soon!

Would that apply to the "Family"? However if I buy LHD it should not make any difference it can be matriclated, it is only RHD commecials that are banned.

Commercial vehicles have to be ITV`d more regular than cars when due, every year.

House is looking good but did you employ the worlds most lazy builders to do it? or has it been an on/off project?
Basically any vehicle that has a dual version (ie a commerical or 'family' version is automatically classed as commerical) if you go onto the official Spanish Fiat site the Doblo is in the commerical section and not the normal vehicle section etc.

JDR beat me to it and I believe the ITV is a little more tough than normal vehicles.

No he has actually been very fast judged against other builders I have seen.
Started July 6th 2007 on site did not break for summer last year and has been on site with 3+ every day since. Does not work Sats and Sundays. Only 2 small quality blips so far and they were corrected instantly. Took a long time to find but glad we were patient. He has built 400sq m + pool now got all the externals and roof to lounge, diner kitchen to do and we are almost there.
I have looked on the Fiat es site and wondered were the Doblo was.

Found the Doblo on Fiat es

Not as ugly as it used to be which is a disappointment (always wanted to have the worlds uggliest car) but it will do for all I need in Spain.

Yeah the uglyness was a nice touch for me, but I loved the ugly Multipla for the very same reason, completely went off them when they made it less ugly!
