Registering a car in Spain is easy if you have a COC from the manufacturer. Otherwise it can not only take a lot of time but also a lot of money. Also, there is an environment tax (0 to 13%) depending on Co2 output. .

Check the legality of driving a foreign registered car in the UK on a UK licence.

Driving it in UK is only a potential problem if you are UK resident, which driving licence  you hold is irrelvent. 

Many Spanish insurers will cover you to bring a car down and give you time to reregister it.

Since I have been driving cars in Spain I have always used Abbeygate.    http://www.abbeygateinsure.com

Not overpriced and you do it in English.
