Rhd drive, Gibraltar insurance, UK MOT, UK road tax. saves around 10k on the deal!! Portuguese taxation on cars is crippling, looked for a UK reg lhd M5 with the spec I wanted and non about, makes little difference with the quietness of the roads anyhow, and the motorways are even quieter!!

That had crossed my mind. What are the legalities in keeping a UK car in Europe for an extended period of time? Do you have to take it back to the UK every 6 months or something?

Coincides with trips back to Blightly so never more than 180 days.

That's cool. Do you take the ferry from Santander or Bilbao or do you make the long trip to Dover?

 

Tried it both ways, the ferry seems sooo slow but you it cuts out a lot of driving for sure, still around 900km through spain to Portugal and super quiet open roads, through the tunnel, France and on is ok but required a couple of overnight stops one in France one in Spain to enjoy it fully and prevent crashing !!
