legally owning a spanish registered car
hi,
i intend to live 6 months in a winter let in Javea area and 6 months touring round the UK.
when i have been over to Javea before i've been hiring cars when i need them, usually for the first week or two, just to get from the airport,visit friends etc and then about 2 or three days a week when me and wife fancy a trip out etc.
i recon it would be cheaper to actually buy a small runaround car in Spain, spanish registered so i can keep it at the airport all year, quotes seem to be about 250ish euros a year to keep it at Alicante airport, instead of hiring a car, my daughter could use it when she comes over for holidays as well.
But , can i legally own a spanish car without being a resident with a fixed permant address in Spain, only my UK address.
I have an NIE number, but no 'fixed' address in spain.
i usually like to stay in a few places when i come over in the winter.
many thanks.
john
