[doc] re BTI and court case

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Al

i am looking for information, particularly from Phillip Wright

i imported my car last sept and got stung for the new BTI 10%+17.5% - 
ouch

i appealed and lost, and then appealed to a tribunal.

i am scheduled for appeal court in MAY.

my question is, when was this last BTI issued for the 5% duty?

Would it be possible to beg a photocopy as i need to present evidence 
to the judge and solicitors.

my case is one or two angles - how can a car be re-assessed and given 
a different BTI code when no more models have been produced and no 
further information given since the original assessment ie did they 
make a mistake originally and was some of their staff negligent?.

if my car was imported September and cars later than this had the 5% 
BTI then surely my car should be subject to 5% duty.

i don't expect to win against customs, but wanted to take my case as 
far as possible as i firmly believe our cars are historic and an 
important part of motoring history and should be treated by customs as 
so.

thanx for any help

regardfs

Steve
