Finbar SaundersWell you can understand how folk can get into bother, when the so called single market and movement rules are interpreted differently. Like I say above there Pl , D , F , CZ cars running about for years this way. Mainly folk who are working here .
Ulla JacksonWell I didn’t now that. I thought you could run your motor as long as it was legal. A polish lad that worked for me in the U.K. never re registered his cars always ran with polish plates. Even back in the 90s Thomaz Beloch who worked for me back then, who had no idea where he came from as he was a slave worker as a youngster and just headed west till he ended up in County Durham. He always drove Mercedes E class with D plates. Which he bought in Germany where his relative lived.
In my last 3 places living in Mallorca, every German car with a D on the reg has been here for years, just picking on footballers because 90% of Germans who leave a car here dont bother.
David HollandIf resident the cars should be register within 30 days in Spain. If not residents you can drive 6 months at any time with foreign plates before need to register. Despite being part of EU, countries have different rules about cars.
Slovakia Part of the European Union ? Right. So what happened to the free and unrestricted movement of people goods and property bit. I did business with a company in Milan. The sales director and owners son lived in Verona. His RS6 was registered in Munich. No one objected to that.
