"we have owned for 3 years" 

"In the three years we owned it, we only changed a tyre and headlight bulb" 

 "was last service 3 years ago"

Erm, is that meant to be a selling point!? Because I don't think it is!

"Very well cared for" - fucking liar! 

If you're after an EP3 Civic that's had literally zero maintenance for the last 3 years and a budget of £1700, you're in luck!

Ooooh that's a cracker. 

We're looking to move to Europe in the next 2 years or so, most likely Spain or Portugal. Is it still the case out there that you can buy a car from anywhere in the bloc and re-register it quite easily? 

A friend of mine used to do this frequently as he reckoned older cars were way cheaper in Germany than in Portugal where he lived. As he worked offshore he'd simply fly into Germany from the rig, but the pre-agreed car and drive it home over a few days/sometimes "a 1'nner" depending upon where in Germany it was but I've lost touch with him. 

 

I have updated your question about a possible move to Spain. If you go to live there then post about importing a car. It can be done, but with a lot of paperwork.

I remember looking at a very worn out Merc ML270 and the seller enthusiastically telling me he’d never opened the bonnet in 4 years, he was soooo disappointed when I didn’t buy

What the whole car?

Trendy + Coffee + Cyclists can you get a worse combo? 

Heh, that's my old DS.  It's never actually been a Tour de France press car, it was painted up like that after I sold it.

 

Also, HFM???

Not as pristine as one would expect from an 8k miles, £5k car. Allthough to be fair, these usually started to rot within two minutes or so.

That's identical to the one I bought at auction in 2001, although that had rather higher mileage at 29K and was a bit less rusty.  I paid £10 for it.
