I really cannot believe that a left-handed person cannot work a gear lever with their right hand!

It is not a stupid comment. You think you can't change gear with your right hand, just how long have you been trying. You just need to go for a drive and in the space of a couple of days it will be second nature. I have a right hand drive car and a left hand drive. Often I come home change cars and go out again without thinking about it. You will to if you give it a go.

Just contact SVG cars at San Javier, explain your position and see if they can help. They do move cars about from UK to Spain etc.  That’s SVG. Specilised Vehicle Group.

I had a very good experience using carshipping to Spain. Web site www.carshipping2spain.com.  Although they do collect your car in UK I chose to deliver mine to Warrington and they gave me a lift back to the nearest rail station.  Delivery was agreed to San Javier airport within 7 days at a price of £700.  The car being left at Plane Parking so it was cleaned and ready for my arrival. A great service and it gave an opportunity to ship some bulky items down as a bonus.

Don't forget it could cost you €1200  plus to import it.
