Hi

A couple of months ago we had the opportunity to straight swop our English Reg 4 x 4 with a Spanish Reg 4 x4, similar age, condition etc. The stumbling block was the fact we have two 1.5 ton English trailers. We contacted Joan Bort the Gestor at Jesus, who made enquirers about the possibility of matriculating these trailers here. After a couple of days he came back after speaking to technico's and the traffic department to say it is totally impossible to register an English trailer here, as the trailer when bought new in the UK does not come with the correct documentation. When a trailer is bought here it comes with its own log book etc, and is a separately owned vehicle in the eyes of the law.

We have also had a same problem with quad bikes here, which are road suitable, bought in the UK without being made road legal there. It again is impossible to matriculate, due to them not having the correct paperwork to allow matriculation to take place here.

Hope this helps.
