Referendum
We have been listening to many comments about the effect of the possibility of Brexit to ex pats living in Spain. Personally we do not think it is going to make much of a difference to us if that happens. But there must be people out there that are worried, so if anyone can take a few minutes of their time to add their thoughts on the forum, then that would be very helpful.
Mondeo TDCI
I'm travelling over later this week in a 2007 Mondeo TDCI. Plan is to put it onto Spanish plates but if anyone is returning to the Uk and wanted some kind of deal for their LHD Spanish car there may be an opportunity for both parties. I have pictures if anyone is interested.
