    I don't know if its still the case but SAGA use to allow up to 365 days abroad. However I have not investigated and T&C's that might apply to such use. I expect most policies work on the basis that people living in the UK will only take their cars abroad
    for limited trips. Perhaps try an insurance broker or try DD's suggestion.

    I was told by SAGA this week that they have no limit on the time you spend out of the country with your car hope this helps,

    If your car is in Spain for more than 183 days you are supposed to re-register it with Spanish plates. A lot don't though.
