Hi Roswell,

We are in a re-enactment group from the Spanish Civil War. It is amazing how many people from all walks of life and nationalities are interested in the same thing.

One of the guys in our group is a Mossa d'Esquadra, based on the coast near l'Aldea. He speaks reasonable English, and he has told us that the "force" have been told to look out for very old UK cars. Obviously they didn't realise that a registration number plate can denote the age of the car, therefore alerting them to some of the very old cars which are now on the streets of Catalunya (or Spain) in general.  

He said that the guys in their region now have a "competition" as to how many of these cars they can stop and prove that they dont have suffient documentation.

This isn't meant to scare or to reprimand anyone, only as a warning that they are on to it!!!
In all honesty, would any of us drive illegally in the UK and hope to get away with it???
