Hi again,

Thank you for your input.  I am a totally law abiding citizen and never do anything I'm not legally allowed to do, unfortunately for me were I to try and take a chance with something like this it would be 'sod's law' that I'd be stopped by the British police.  I understand there has been a bit of a clamp down on foreign plated cars being driven by UK residents, in fact I believe I read something on this forum earlier this year, apparently the police force in the UK called it 'Operation Andover.'  Foreign plated cars driven by UK residents were being impounded and either a hefty fine imposed or car to the crusher....not a risk I'm prepared to take.

I  initially started this thread hoping to share costs of a ride back to the UK but so far no response to that part of the thread........

No, not a Spanish resident, so therefore am unable to drive a foreign plated car in the UK...

Hi Roberto,

Have definitely read the DVLA site properly, if you go to their page regarding importing a vehicle and scroll down the page it states quite clearly if you are a UK resident you are not allowed to drive a foreign plated car in the UK under any circumstances and the authorities actually have the rights to confiscate and crush the car the same as can be done to English cars if no car tax is displayed.....Inglaterra tiene vida muy complicada......
