I think you can get away with that (or at least a lower rate) if it
was a car that was originally made in Europe, or is considered "rare".

I wouldn't like to bet on it,Imagine assuming you will get a reduced duty and
then you don't . I think in the early 90s people got it (and abused the system
at the same time) Remember HMC&E lack any kind of sense of humour!!!!! .David
