Based on personal experience (at New Year, as passenger in a car being driven from Denmark to UK for a couple of weeks by a UK person - now Danish resident)
Your legal troubles start in the UK though - as a UK resident you are not legally allowed to drive a foreign registered car on UK soil, even from the docks to home. You will probably get away with it - hundreds of people do every day, but if stopped, they will impound the car and fine you.We got stopped at the docks and asked why we (both UK nationals) were brining in a Denmark-register car. Explained driver lived in Denmark & was going back there with the car in 2 weeks. Exit happy customs man.
Any foreign car on uk soil is a temporary import. If the person driving it is a foreign resident, then they are just on a touring holiday and there is no problem. If the person driving it is a uk resident, they have no right to drive it on the road.Maybe I was lucky (thought it was legit - now wondering 
), I drove it when it was in UK as my insurance covers me to "drive any vehicle". Was I wrong?
I've driven my parents car (french registered, they live there) over to the UK with them in it.
Is that illegal? See above^
Educational thread, hope it works out if you decide to go for it.
