Were it not in Ireland, I could be tempted by this. It must be a fairly unusual vehicle, especially as it is a factory built version. How much would it cost to bring it back from Ireland?

Just go for a long weekend in Belfast and drive it back
I reckon Marks idea is the best, train from where you are to Southampton-Eastleight airport (Eastleight rail station is within spitting distance of the airport, could walk it in 20-25 minutes) then fly to Belfast for as little as £19 according to this website :

Get the seller to pick you up then drive it back like Mark suggests - ferry might sting you a bit as it's going to be 18-19ft long so will incur a penalty on length i'd guess but you'd have a nice drive back from the north-west to the sunny south coast.
