I have a 1994 LHD (first purchased in Germany and then sold in England) Fiat Ducato motorhome that I would like to register in Spain, being LHD I believe it should be easy and would appreciate any advice, would also need to get LHD headlights if anyone knows of any about, being 1994 not concerned if they are second hand from a scrapped vehicle, also being Scottish I do not want to spend a lot of money!! ;D

Speak to Robin Wilson on 636104592.

He re-registered my LHD Mercedes estate and the whole process was very easy and didn't cost lots of money.

Good luck,
Simon

Another vote for Robin, did my car and now sorting my parents one also.

Thanks both, will give him a call tomorrow and hopefully all will be fine.
;D

Hi there
We have the same thing and we have been told "no way" Please let us all know how you get on with this.

Robin is also very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the Spanish tax system and will deal with your tax returns for you.  He will visit you in your home, gather all the information needed and then complete everything for you. 

another +1 for Robin.

Some friends recently re-matriculated their motorhome here - I seem to recall there was a problem which was solved by doing part of the process in Spain (Valencia I think) and then coming back to Catalonia to finish off the process.

I can ask for more detail if required.

No1 VISIT TECHNIC IN TORTOSA .TAKE ALL PAPERWORK
                   No2go to ITV STATION .MAKE SURE No ON CHASSIS IS CLEAN AND READABLE AS ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM
                   No3 VISIT HACIENDA TO PAY DUTY
                   No4 VISIT BASE OFFICE TO PAY ROAD TAX

Is it possible to do all the work yourself? Or do you need a gestor?

Possible to do yourself if you speak the language, and don't mind going to Traffico in Tarragona.

Hi chrispain
The route you posted may work with newer vehicles 2004 ish onward's as they have a "Certificate of Conformation" this "COC" did not exist in the early 1990's.....
So you have to try to find a Technic who will take on a motorhome, don't forget before it can pass the ITV it also has to have Gas & Elect certificate's.
I will be trying the Assessoria Milian   on Monday and as he is down towards the Spanish Catalan border that may be what "JamJarChris" meant ?
Fingers crossed

Hi all, going through the process now, had to remove tow bar as it did not have a certificate, getting gas safety check done today in Amposta (hopefully), changing rear lights so fog light is on correct side for Spain, headlights are ok, so things going well but will keep you all posted with results and costs involved. ;D

Gas Safety check done which meant getting a new connector, pipe and gas bottle, all together costing 70 euros and took less than 10 minutes, certificate issued with no problem. :)

OK, to update all that have an interest in this, electric certificate done, took some time as it is the same as getting one for your private home, several pages, photographs taken and documents submitted for rubber stamps to be applied, the fuse box had to be updated with a trip type fuse, all in costs 250 Euro, so today went to get the IVA but it failed on two counts, one being reflectors to the rear and the brakes need bleeding, easy to do and should get it back to Tortosa this week, cost just over 120 Euro, the vehicle being old it is in good condition and there were four staff checking it over, taking photographs of everything inside and out, then they measured it, all good, so hopefully it should not be long now, will keep you all updated. Note examiner even tried to fix the brakes whilst we waited!
;)

Vehicle is in a garage in Tortosa waiting parts for the rear brakes, having removed the tow bar(not certificated and no paperwork) which was fitted to tow a small car and was typically German engineering and very heavy, the removal changed the profile of the rear braking system making them ineffective and they got stuck in the closed position, so now have to get new parts, hopefully everything will sort itself out! :o

Motorhome passed the ITV this morning and paperwork for the next stage will be ready a week on Monday, suggest if anyone has to go through this procedure that August is a bad month to do it if you need repairs, most garages are closed so getting spare parts took longer than expected, however, the ITV centre took this into consideration and did  not charge a retest fee despite the fact that it was over the 14 days.  Spanish service is fantastic! ;D

Fantastic news. motorhome has now been fully transferred onto Spanish Registration.  For those that have been following this my first advice is never begin anything that involves doing things in August, well not in Amposta as everything closes down.  During the process of going through the ITV it was discovered that the rear brakes were not up to par so we had to wait for spare parts to get it through and this being in August took longer than expected, apart from that the process is simple.  The gas certificate was obtained from the place in Amposta that provides the gas bottles and only took about half an hour, a local electrician done the electric certificate which is the same as getting one for your home and took ages, well it had to be stamped up in two different offices but when those are obtained then it is off to the ITV, they take copies of everything including photographs, we had obtained paperwork for the motorhome in Spanish which gave details of the size, shape and layout including the engine details, on passing the itv the paperwork was then taken to the necessary office and import duty paid (all of about 250 euros!!!!), then stamped up, registration documents issued and then off to a local supplies for the number plates, of course obtaining insurance via a Spanish insurance company, looking forward to getting out and about and here's hoping there is many years left in her.  It is well worth doing and getting the right man to do the job so thanks for recommendation via the forum.

The best man for the job is  Robin Wilson on 636104592.
