Hi i have posted an email below which some of you my find useful it was my own mh that is being re-resisted
Please find below a formal quote for the re-registration of your motor home. We are at the ITV station daily, so within reason can see you any time

Dear Joanne
Many thanks for your enquiry regarding the re-registration of your CI Riviera Motor home, first registered in 2002
After re-registering more than 1000 vehicles over the last 5+ years I can take care of the whole process for you thoroughly and professionally
Please find below a summary of the process and costs involved all of which I take care of for you
In order to be legally imported into Spain, your car needs to be inspected by a matriculation engineer to confirm that it matches the specification on the logbook. (This is a one-off process).
It then has an import ITV (MOT) inspection. The vehicle is then re-tested every 2 years. (For vehicles over 10 years old, the testing is undertaken annually)
The necessary documents are presented to the authorities in Alicante that issue all of the relevant Spanish paperwork and your legal fees are paid. This is undertaken via my Gestor (lawyer) who specialises in this type of work in order to obtain maximum efficiency and accuracy.
Once the paperwork is back after about 7 days, I obtain your Spanish number plates and hand everything over to you at your home or place of work
The fee for all of the above is €670 including IVA (VAT).
In addition you will be liable for road tax of €30 approx (balance of 2012),for which you get an official receipt with the exact amount paid.
Registration tax is due on all vehicles coming into Spain. There is a dispensation period of 60 days given from application of FIRST Padron or Residencia, which I understand you are outside of.
As the CO2 emissions will be greater than 200 g/Km, the registration tax on your vehicle would be at14.75% of its market value less 30%, so for example if the vehicle was valued at €8000, this would be reduced to €5600 X 14.75% which is €826
Receipts are issued by the Spanish authorities for all taxes paid. This way, you can be sure that you have paid the correct amount and it has not been marked up
I understand that the headlights are already suitable for Continental driving
Please note that if the vehicle has 2 rear fog lights, no problem; if one only, this needs to be on the left hand side. We normally charge 20 euros for addressing this. The reversing light can remain where it is
Note that the tyres must be identical on the same axle (though all 4 need not be the same). The spare wheel is not checked as part of the inspection
Normally inspections are undertaken at the ITV station at Redovan, just outside of Orihuela city, Alicante province, as it is the only station that I am aware of where both inspections can be undertaken one after the other, as opposed to two trips on different days. Also as I have been using this station for many years and am well known, any niggles tend to be smoothly dealt with.
At this stage, you will need to show certificates of approval for both the gas and electric installations. I can arrange for a local company to inspect and provide the certificates. This firm charges 70 euros per inspection/ certificate. i.e. 140 euros for the pair
You will be given a document from the ITV that explains to any interested parties (such as the police) that you vehicle is being imported. This will tide you over until I deliver your papers and plates
This is the only time that you and the vehicle are needed and should take about 2 hours in total
Documents required for re-registration
Registration document of the vehicle
Copy passport
Padron
Photocopy of NIE certificate (or Certificate of Residence)
Valuation
Summary of Costs (Euros)
670Fee for full matriculation process
30 Road tax (approx, balance of 2012)
140 Gas and electric inspection and certification
€840 total
+ Registration tax (a.k.a emissions or import tax)
I cannot deny that this is a large sum of money; however the cost of vehicles in Spain is much higher than in the UK, so even paying the taxes it almost always works out cheaper than buying one here
Please note that as I have to start paying out immediately on your behalf that some cash (or a combination of cash and cheque) would be required on the day, with the balance upon completion though I ask you to ensure that you are comfortable with the process in hand before actually parting with it! It is preferable to pay the taxes by bank transfer or card directly to my lawyer who pays it on our behalf
I look forward to hearing from you, meanwhile more information can be found on our website which includes the articles that I have written as a regular feature writer for the Costa Blanca News and associated papers on this subject under the banner “Mediterranean Motoring”
Kind regards

I have no idea why I didn't on the other thread earlier this week. Far more is possible at Redovan in Alicante than you'll ever get anywhere else.
