Default Re: Importing American cars to spain

I believe the homologated process is part of the ITV when importing a car.

My own American truck cost 2500 euro's to import.

I purchased one that had been imported into the UK and had British plates and log book. And that was a pain getting it imported, even with a British log book, which should have made things easy.

Something to be aware of, is keeping the vehicle to factory spec. Any add on's to the car can cause a lot of unwanted grief and failures of the ITV. Things like bog standard wheels, no add on's such as bull bars etc.

To get an idea of what I went through going through the process, which took about two months with a lot of grief, check the following link
