you have to pay tax for the vehicle, the Ayuntamiento will send you an email and you can pay online 

if you own a property in Spain and you are not resident you have to pay tax as per modelo 210, you have to submit this befor 31th of December for the year before 

but this is for a person with EU citizens ship 

so for GB after the Brexot I dont know

I hope you have a lot of money, have you checked the price of cars in Spain. My son saved over 2 grand by buying his car in the UK then taking it to Spain, but you know best. Good luck
