I would recommend that you employ one of the many specialist companies to assist. You could get a free quote here http://www.register-your-car.com/

It's no longer as cheap as it once was and it would probably be better to buy a Spanish car with the steering wheel is on the correct side for the road. 2nd hand car values have risen in the UK and it may be better to sell before arriving in Spain.

Hi,

   I used Spanish Number Plates when I put my UK car onto Spanish lates in 2019, faultless service. I am not sure if it is economical to bring a UK car over now but give SPN a call to ask about the procedure and costs,then you can decide.

Contact details are on their website.

By the way, I have driven a RHD car here for a total of 4 years, no issues, can be a nuisance at car parks when you have to take a ticket but nothing major. 

Rgds,

Aitch.

Used car values have risen significantly in Spain also so don't bank on offsetting what you might get in UK against buying a car here.

I can't answer your question but the guys from car registrations spain will be able to advise you accurately.

We used their services last year to import our UK car and they were brilliant. Excellent complete service with great communication throughout.
