This morning I had the response to my request for a formal departmental review of my BTI revocation It was a very detailed five page reply, but in a nutshell the decision rests: ""After careful consideration of all the information available, I have concluded that this vehicle, as described, is correctly classified within the heading 87.03 as a used motorcar and not 97.05 as a collectors piece of historic interest"" The classification is very specific in what counts for "historic interest" and although we all think of these cars as something a bit special, sadly I must admit very little of the DeLorean fits those requirements... I think when the car is 30 years old we get another bite of the cherry, but until then, importing a D just got a whole lot more expensive.
