I'm thinking about driving over later this year but I'd be stuck with a right hand drive British car, does anyone know if there's a market for them in Spain? I'm thinking maybe someone going home might want it or even swap for their Spanish car, I'm just in the "finding out" stage at the moment.

Thanks, Paul

Whatever you do is a gamble. Unless you can find someone returning to the UK to buy your car, you'll only get a fraction of its value here. You'd be better off driving it back and selling it, then getting a return flight. Having said that, post-Brexit there could be a lot of illegals returning to the UK so you might find a buyer!

There are 1 or 2 dealers around Orihuela Playa (La Zenia) buying RHD vehicles.

Over the years we have sold a right hand drive van and a car, no problem selling as there is always a buyer out there.

Thanks all for the advice, Killjoy have you got any details for the dealers you mentioned? I might give them a bell to see if they'd consider part ex.
