actually at the moment a lot of people are returning to uk, so they are doing mad deals to get a taxed and mot,d right hand drive car, as over here majority of english cars have not been taxed and tested for years and of course they cant return to uk with them as they have to pay the back tax etc!!!! lol

no point in importing them then?  :(

Notice motorbike imports to Europe from UK are big now, as its only a dash conversion needed.

saw a white with gold roof Omeegah in Lanzerote 2 days ago,looked odd with the pale gold roof but was in corking condition considering it was on the game  :P

theres Poles by us buying salvage Vauxhalls and repairing them and using left hooker bits from Germany converting them into left hookers then sending them back home.

i sold recently a 166k miles mint driving 2.0di vectra to a Polish lad who had one in Poland nackered and he couldn't find a engine for it so bought mine and drove it home.

Fair Play thats some road trip that is  :D

That diesel at pontevedra looks a snip at 159 euros!!

Back to the real prices. Then there is a tax to pay on buying plus paying someone to organise it as basically everyone is dishonest. You can hardly believe Spain is in the grips of 20% plus unemployment.

RHD cars registered onto Spanish plates fetch little money. They are like non cars neither Spanish or British!! Great fun watching the oncoming drivers face when they see "no one driving". ;D ;D ;D ;D

There might be a market in fixing up mechanicals on LHD cars here. e.g. UK engines.
