The owner is a typical car salesman, tells you everything you want to hear. Except the problems my car had & then didn't want to rush to sort it ( but was very quick to take my money )

I even said I would take him to court if my car wasn't sorted asap. His reply was this.

You can try if you like, but your get nowhere in Spain with it. Then he blocked my number & I had to get my wife to deal with him.

Eventually got the car about 12 weeks after paying in full.

Don't buy from here......

Hi Phil

If I bring my car over its on an Irish EU plate so will that be any easier to re register in Spain.  It says as long as it passes the ITV test there shouldn't be a problem

You’ll still need to get all the lights realigned to pass an ITV not sure about import tax or registration as it’s an EU registered car but personally I’d would not consider using a right hand drive car in Spain for reason I’ve already gone into.
