Hi I've used Liberty Segoros this year and it was €250. I used ibex the first year and it was 320 but 2nd year went up considerably. Did it online.

You do realise that as a UK resident you are not allowed to drive a Spanish registered vehicle in the UK ??

No you check your information with the DVLA.

You are NOT allowed to drive that Spanish plated vehicle on the UK roads. For any length of time insured or not.

Only a Spanish resident can drive it.
