Hope somebody can help as ive been reading the forums and the .gov.uk sites but cant really get a straight forward answer.

My grandad, who has lived out in Spain for about 3 years has come back 'home' to the UK as he is in the final stages of his life owing to Cancer.  He would like his car, which is about 4 years old and has spanish plates (RHD UK car transferred over) to be brought home, with his few personal belongings inside.

I offered to drive his car home for him, as he isnt fit enough to drive it at the moment.  Its looking like a drive throgh france as ferrys from spain to uk are fully booked over bank holiday weekend (30 aug).  The drive isnt a problem, but was wondering what the procedures in spain are for de registering his car thre as he wont be with me, insurance requirements (i have full uk licence clean), Also i read that you cant drive a spanish registered car in the uk with a uk licence. is that true or as im not the registered owner make a difference?

 

Does anybody have any experience of this?

 

Thanks in advance
