A friend of mine took one back to the UK a couple of years ago and found it was to expensive to put on UK plates. I dont know the figures though,.

She ended up returning it to Spain and selling it

Same with relatives of mine, they were quoted something like £1500, and they hadn't even told the Spanish authorities they were taking it to the UK, so they couldn't have sold it anyway, or the new owners would have had problems, it got s bad they were going to scrap it, but as it was Spanish regiustered no scrap yard would take it.

I would suggest you make a visit to a few local car dealers and see what they will offer you.
