It costs approximately €1,500 depending on the cars worth ..if you look in the free papers/ magazines that are around ..you will see adverts for this .

Hola to bring a car from the UK and import it into Spaiñ
You need to pass a ITV (MOT) and the lights must be pointing the correct way (beam defectors will not pass)
also the tails lights (fog and reverse) need to be correct
I advise you try and find the correct lights in the UK the very basic cost to import is just over €800 plus plates I had a 2014 Clio
that was estimated at €2200 to import with new lights , so I traded it in bad mistake
Another option is look for Paul of Cars in Spain he may help you see what he has on offer I do strongly advise to be very careful I bought a car from Specialist Vehicles of San Javier two weeks later the engine blew up they would not answer my e-mails and phone calls so I lost €3,000 that is a vast amount of money for an O.A.P on a state pension to lose

Hi
You stated in you original post, the car is LHD if this is the case depending where the car was first registered it should have the European certificate of conformity.
This should therefore be no problem with the ITV and you should go to Traffico to change registration.

Even though it may have started life in France, it should have had its headlamps changed to be registered in the UK, so they will be wrong for Spain. You can book a pre-rematriculation ITV and they will tell you what needs doing to pass.
