Free Circulation Certificate

As far as I can make out , a Free Circulation Certificate (FCC) enables the holder to unhindered travel in the EU, its a document issued by HM Customs that says 'all the necessary VAT etc has been paid - leave me alone!'

It is especially useful if the original C88, the import document, has been lost. Unfortunately, the Customs no longer seem to issue these FCCs.

Does anyone have an FCC, has anyone tried applying for one in the previous year and has anyone used one in anger?

I have the name of a company in Southampton that specialises in Custom/Aviation matters and will be contacting them for help, but I waswondering if anyone has current experience of FCCs.
