Thank you very much for all the replies. We have tried going in to an insurance company and contacting other companies on the Internet and none said we were not allowed driving a foreigner car for more than 6 months, so THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION. And we have also tried taking the car to dealers but is COMPLETELY NOT WORTH IT, we have even been told they could only pay for the car 500 pounds, when selling it in Spain could be easily 5000 euro, crazy! 

The car is still registered in Spain because it was actually cheaper to leave it the way it is, rather than having to de register it to leave the country, as we thought we could keep the car in the UK till going back to Spain. But no longer thinking it :P 

 

Thanks everyone for the comments and help, much appreciate it !!!! :D

Hi everyone, 

You may not be able to help, but have tried googleing so many things and can´t find a thing at all. We brought our Spanish car to the UK, because we used to live in Guernsey and there was no trouble to insurance it over there. But when we arrived to England, we realized that the insurence companies over here are far to expensive, if they actually insure the car. We are now thinking of selling the car, but we don´t know where to do it, or if anyone knows of any insurance companies that do what we need for a reasonable price, would be much appreciate it as well.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Vanessa and Luis
