Are you talking UK car or Spanish?

Spanish cars don't have log books.

Hi Badger,

For a Spanish registered car, this extract details what you need to carry:

" So, what paperwork should we carry in the car ?

  • Driving licence (Carnet de Conducir)
  • Registration document (Permiso de Circulacion)
  • ITV Card (Tarjeta Inspeccion Technica de Vehiculos)
  • Insurance papers (Seguros) including accident report form
  • Road tax receipt "

Kind regards,

Kim

It may help you if you take a look at the N332 website.   It is for English speaking people and is run in conjunction with officers of the Guardia Civil.   The website also has an English version of the Spanish equivalent of the Highway Code on it.
