Moving to Spain, recommendations please

[DarrinM]

Hiya all

Moving lock stock n Chimaera 450 to Spain (Marbella area) this year and wondered if anyone has any recommendations regarding -

1. Reliable Servicing and or repairs
2. Upgrades to cooling system (Modwise etc) already have Air Con (thank goodness)
3. Whether to drive all the way or put it on a train for part of the journey
4. Re-registering the car in Spain, should I shouldn't I and what is cost
5. Insurance - someone mentioned insuring in Gibraltar !
6. Selling the reg I have right now before or after we leave (L17 TVR)

Realise that in Spain people aren't as careful with regards to nudge parking n so on but seems such a shame to not take it when there are all those dry sunny days to enjoy !!!

Your advice/assistance much appreciated

Drive it all the way definitely! The trip over the mountains from France to Spain will be unforgettable.

Registering can be expensive, I read somewhere that when cars are sold and re-registered there is a specific lawyer/solicitor that you have to go to see and get it done. Not just send some forms in like we do.

There must be a web site somewhere that has all this info?

For servicing theres the Ferrari etc garage in San Pedro, might be worth a chat.

If you didnt want to drive all the way why not get the boat to northern Spain & head south from there?

Last time I was there the traffic was murder, & as said, the locals tend to know when not to go further forwards in a parking space because of the crunching sound nearby!!

Where abouts are you moving to?
