It's not my car, subject on another forum. The car has a blown engine, would be on the back of a transporter, then would come back in with a fresh engine.
I was thinking that the customs agents might be interested in a car on a transporter as it might be being sold, and therefore (likely French) duty and VAT would be liable, but if you then explain that you're bringing it back in, post engine work, would UK customs be interested?
Probably not.
However - if you drove to Poland and then drove back with ten grand of engine in the back of your van you would deffo get the 6% duty and then 20% VAT on top.
