If there is nothing more you can add to this article and my questions, my only advice is to take any and all paperwork you might have to the National Police. 

And take a translator with you!!

As we were hopeful it would be returned to us and as the insurance people said we needed to keep the insurance on it as it will probably need 2 new batteries plus it could have been scratched etc etc 

I need some money incase you find your car and for commenting on here 😜😜😜😜, sorry couldn't resist. Unfortunately it looks like these people seen you coming, give you a price and a lame excuse and you paid them, sorry I'm really not trying to offend you but I don't know anyone whose ever paid 900euro for insurance, considering its ment to go down annually with no claims bonuses. Same with the lawyer thats far too much, all records of impounded cars are in the policía local stations, they can tell you exactly what happened to it.

Answering the following questions will help in establishing what has happened and possibly what to do next. 

Have you reported this to the police or Guardia? 

Are Design Cars still in business? 

Do you know the name of the owner of Design Cars? 

Are you in Spain? 

What has the lawyer said to you? 

What sort of car is it that needs two batteries? 

How do you know that the car was seized? 

4x4 usually have two batteries but the car model hasn't been stated

So your saying if I go yet again to havea police station on Monday they will know where my car is ? It was the guardian civil that did the raid as reported in the Costa Blanca news sept 2019 and the olive press by Joshua parfitt

Yes tell me about the cost 😱I’ve worked very hard to buy this car waited 12 years and then this ! Ricardo the salesman at design cars phoned to say he felt guilty and would sort it …nothing !!

Have you physically gone and seen them? There will be someone that can speak for you even in a local bar

If you walk to the Guardia Civil yes they should have a record of where your car is, I spoke to a few police just in passing one of whom is Guardia Civil they all must as enrollment policy be able to speak basic English because they deal with people internationally.
