We've been over here just a year with our UK RH Drive car - the tax expires next month.

I've noticed a number of UK cars being driven over here still with UK number plates but no UK tax.

Is that legal and if so does the car still have to be registered in the UK.

I wonder how folks are getting on with Microsofts new "Multiply" facilities.
It does seem quite easy for users to get their acounts automatically suspended if they have even the smallest glitch.

We're still driving our RH Drive car after five years being over here. It's not a problem.
The first thing that we did on arriving was to have the local garage change the headlamps from left dip models to right dip. That wasn't at all expensive.
We also registered the car here in Spain with Spanish plates and use a Spanish insurance company.
At that time we also changed our driving licences to Spanish ones although that is not really necessary nowadays providing you have a UK postal address.

We drove over with our pet dog but made two stop overs with friends on the way.
We have a number of other friends who travel back and forth regularly by ferry and they tell us that not all the ferries take dogs throughout the year so it's best to check first.

Technoape,
We too used to live in Braunton (Saunton Park) and really loved that part of the world.
However we've now lived on the Costa del Azahar for five years and have loved every minute of it.
We've made a big effort to integrate into the local community and have made friends with a lot of spaniards as well as other nationalities. Fortunately there aren't too many Brits here as the last thing we wanted was a british enclave.
