Owning a car in the UK.

Hi all, bit of a complicated question.
Due to the cost of hire cars now, my father-in-law in the UK has added us to his car insurance so we can use his car whilst on holiday during this June rather than paying nearly £850 for a hire car. This cost just over £21.
My father-in-law is now 89 and has been talking about selling his car as he hardly uses it so we wondered if it would be possible for us to buy it, keep it at his house and just use it for trips to the UK. As I have Spanish residencia and Spanish driving licence, would I be able to own the car, UK registered, in the UK and insure it here in Spain as normally you can drive a car out of the country for around 3 months a year? I know you can have an English plated car here in Spain if it is just a holiday car.
Think this may be one for Dario or Matthew,
Any information gratefully received,
Thank you.
