Anybody know the age requirement for classic cars in Spain. Very tidy looking low mileage 22 yr old Merc for sale near me at home for handy money which would need to be transferred of course if taken to Spain.
30 years for historico as I understand it.

Also be aware of the import duties for bringing the car in and transferring the car to Spanish plates. I was quoted over €5k to transfer my 1992 Merc SL that I had owned for 15 years. I couldnt bring it in within 6 months of becoming resident as it was having full restoration. Before Brexit it was €1200 after Brexit with the import duties it was as said above. I decided to sell the car as it wasn't worth the messing.
