What are the rules with regards to importing a vehicle you already own into the UK from Aus or NZ?

What taxes can be avoided on import (VAT etc)?

How long must you have owned it to qualify?

Do you have to be living there with it?

I ask because I'm an ex pat Kiwi that's been here for a long time and I would like in future to import a HSV from Aus or NZ. The thing being, I could live without the car for a few months if it meant catching a break from the tax man. I have somewhere I can store the car etc, I just need to know the ins and outs of it all.

Has anybody here done it?
