How best to export a high-end Mercedes?

I am buying a brand new and very rare model Mercedes from a Dublin dealer soon. I will have to tax, insure and register it as per any other car on the road. I have already sold it to a dealer in London for a good premium. Can I export it the very same week I buy it and reclaim the VRT amount via the reclaim scheme and also how best to make the car UK VAT qualifying? It will have 100 miles max on the clock. I can buy in my own name or that of an Irish company.

Thanks

Seamus

What's happening with my Kia Sportage?

Hi, I was just sitting in my Kia Sportage having turned off the engine. I tried to start it again but it failed to start. I got out of the car, locked it, reopened it and the car started. Is this part of some feature and how is it activated?
