Assuming you have another car to tow it with, try buying a used car trailer in Spain and then sell it used when you get here. With luck, you may make a little on selling the trailer.
Try the likes of ebay for a used trailer. They must have it in spain too.

The Best way to do this is to have the car at least running. That would be the cheapest way. It makes for easier moving of the vehicle, so that it doesn't have to be towed all of the time.
Simplest and cheapest method of shipping. Cars are driven directly into the Ro/Ro vessel and secured to the car decks. Securely inside the vessel, wind and watertight. Please note you cannot ship personal effects using this method. Spare tire and factory fitted accessories are allowed.
Shipping Cars Containers are Safe and secure inside their own container. All vehicles are securely blocked, braced and tied down ensuring absolute security during transportation. You can also ship any personal effects inside the vehicle.
Required Paperwork
From April 1999 USA Customs require either the Original Title or certified copy of the title. Certification of the title can only be made by a Government issuing authority such as the Department of Motor Vehicles. Notarized copies of the title are no longer acceptable. It may be a little different in Spain.
If there is a lien holder on your vehicle, a letter from your lien holder must be provided. These documents are required for the U.S. Customs clearance for export and all original and certified copies are returned upon clearance.
This is one of many sites on the web. I found this to be very helpful. You also need Collection and Destination locations to have an accurate quote.
Good Luck.

If it were me, I would either fix the car in Spain, or sell it and use the money I would spend shipping it to buy a new car in England. But, of course, that does not answer your question.

Tow it back on a car trailer. Should cost same as car plus trailer/caravan. Ferry from Bilbao or Santander to Plymouth or Portsmouth.
If taken to a scrap yard in Spain you will probably get a bill for import duty on a sliding scale. Scrapping in Euroland is not as simple as it sounds. Dumping is traceable via engine number etc.

Are you intending to fix it? If so then get it fixed in Spain and drive it back, services such as car repairs are less expensive in Spain.

Get it fixed in spain then drive it back. Car transporters are not cheap.

I might try to fix it there. It seems like a lot of money to transport a broken car. You just can't tow it there. But what do I know, I am American.
