Exporting from UK - JAJ

I am currently working in Spain and will be here for about another year. I remember that there used to be a scheme (set up initially for military people posted abroad) which enabled you to reclaim the VAT on a UK registered car which was taken abroad for over 6 months.

Does anyone know whether the scheme still operates and if so, what pitfalls I could face.

I plan to buy something where the VAT saving (if any) would definitely be worthwhile.
