Hi there. I have an opportunity to realise my dream and purchase a Renault 4 F4 van privately in Spain. I found it advertised whilst on holiday there over Xmas and (using Google Translate!) communicated with the seller to confirm it’s still available. I live in Milton Keynes, UK. My question is, how do I buy this vehicle and bring it over here?
I can find lots of information on how to import a vehicle I already own from Spain to the UK, plus how to buy a vehicle in Spain as a UK citizen with a property or an official ID document in Spain, but not any info on how to buy a Spanish vehicle from here, or go over there, buy it and legally drive it back. Yet I regularly see cars advertised as “fresh Spain import” so it must be possible.
Please, can anyone give me some solid advice? Don’t want to lose this opportunity. Quite prepared to fly there and drive it back but need to know what’s required from a paperwork point of view. Many thanks!! Regards to all you fellow R4 fans. And always looking out for a perfect R4 van so keep me in mind! Thanks. Andrew.
