Tell this to the many people around Torrevieja that have had their cars taken away, there is proof which is the ferry or tunnel ticket plus the Spanish Police can check with port authorities against the registration number

The car element that control this is the importation tax to change the vehicle and ALL of the changover fees and taxes are applied to the car, not the person and the checks are on how long the car has actually been in Spain, not the person

Sorry you are totally wrong and if you refer to so many sites because the rules actually apply to the vehicle, not the person, therefore if the vehicle is stopped and the Police ask for proof of export etc and this cannot be proved then the vehicle will be removed

Thus is from REAL situation where I know that this has happened

With residents there is even more confusion because some talk about 30 days not 6 months and there is much more on a thread on here

As the law stands a foreign registered car can spend six months per calendar year on Spanish roads without any additional paperwork. It can remain in Spain indefinitely as long as it is garaged on private land (not left on the roadside) for six months per year. The vehicle will need to maintain a valid roadworthiness (MOT in the UK).

Kavanagh do an internet search, there is plenty of articles on this and the rules which apply to any vehicle that isn't Spanish, 6 months use and in the country in any 12 month term

Not sure where you live but these are the facts in Spain

The rule is how long the car is in the country that counts, not how long it is being used so you couldnt do this legally and if found out they would take the car away and crush it
