Re: [doc] BTI Info.

["Chris Williams" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I understand this so far. But how about cars that are recent 
imports (as is mine) but has been sold on by the person that 
imported it (to me)? 
Who will they chase for duty, the chap who no longer owns the car 
but imported it or the present owner?
or will they only pick on people who still own the cars they 
imported?
Just my thoughts
