Hi, does anyone have a definitive answer to this question, can one purchase and drive a Spanish registered private car on a UK licence in Spain, resident or not?, thanks in advance :-)

You will need an NIE number.

And probably the padron if you live here or proof of address for the road tax. No problems buying and driving a car but if you are going to live here its advised to change your licence to a spanish one to avoid the many stories of fines been given by the guardia for not having a spanish licence
