I am going to drive my Spanish car to the uK 

As it has E on the plate for Spain will I have to get a different sticker as uK cars now require gb stickers or plate insignias when driving in Europe

Unless you are returning to UK on a permanent basis, then No. The nation sticker reflects the legality of the vehicle, not where it is being driven. Should you in fact be staying in UK, a whole bag of worms can be expected!

Hi Peter,

MarcBernard has given you the correct answer, but I just wanted to correct something in your original post - since 28 September, a UK-registered car being driven in Spain must display a UK sticker, not GB.

Kind regards,

Kim
