Advice wanted on Importing a car from the UK to Tenerife

[lesbroz]

Is it necessary to be resident in Tenerife in order to import a car from the UK? It is my understanding from research, that a empadronamiento is required not just an NIE. Can anyone confirm?

Thank you

All you need is an N.I.E. It is easier if you have owned the car for six months but if it's not a newish car then the tax isn't too bad. As I mentioned in an earlier post if you pm me I will give you the details of the person that has done my cars. She arranges everything and only charges 85€ fee payable when you get your Spanish plates.
