I've gone through the various threads on this issue, and have been unable to find a definitive answer to the following questions:
1. Is it correct to say that a 2nd hand car (e.g. one first registered in 2004, say) if it is imported after July this year it will be subject to the new, emissions based, VRT and car tax rates?
2. If so, what CO2 figure is used?
3. If the car doesn't have an "official" CO2 (say it was pre-2001, which I think is the date this was brought in for the UK), what value is used? for example, a 1985 car, which won't have any kind of official rating.
Any help would be apreciated on this: I can't find the information anywhere.
