OK been there & done it
1. it will cost about 650 to? depends on the age & value of car
new car very expencive old car say 10 years on 850 to 650 engine size is considerd too.
2. then you have to get a report on the car ( no toe bars are allowed now no bull bars are allowed now and if it has allows not gen then sorry not allowed!)
all in all it will cost about with reports papers and getting some one to help about 1000 euros?
if the car is worth it do it if not sell it and get a new car over here as second hand ones are very expensive

For a British registered car to be legal in Spain it must be legal in Britain ( i.e. have a current tax disc, MOT and insurance).
Therefore for you to keep it any length of time in Spain you need to keep it taxed and MOT valid in Britain which could prove expensive in taking it back to the UK for MOT etc.
There are lots of companies willing to insure UK registerd cars in Spain .
You can re-register it in Spain and get a Spanish number plate but this has to be done through a solicitor(gestoria) and costs about 500 euros.
Overall I think its easier to sell your car in the UK and buy a new car in Spain

Might be best to sell your car here and just buy a new one when you get to Spain.
Shipping and taxes can be extremely expensive and stressful.
Good Luck with your new life in Sunny Spain!

You can take it over there on you insurance but you will have to change it over there,
It would be better to sell you car and buy a new one as they drive on the other side of the road so the driver needs to be on the left side.

If it's an American made car your not going to be able to afford gas so you should just sell it and use the money made to buy a bus and train fare.
