What is the correct?
I have not blue eyes. and Have you a blue car?
I do not blue eyes. and Do you have a blue car?
I learned the verb to have don �t need helper. ( do or does)

Dear Laninha
There are two ways of saying it:
I do not have blue eyes. (main verb)
I have not got blue eyes. (auxiliary verb)
Hope this helps.

My primary school teacher taught me that "to have" (="to own") needs do OR got in negatives and questions :*D
I have a car. I have got a bike.
He has a car. She has got a bike.
Do you have a car? Have you got a bike?
Does he have a car? Has she got a bike?
I don�t have a car. I haven�t got a bike.
He doesn �t have a car. She hasn�t got a bike.
Most "normal" verbs need DO in questions and negatives. Do you work at weekends? I don�t work on Saturdays.
Modals don�t need DO in questions. She can swim. Can she swim? She can�t swim.
"be" doesn�t need DO in questions. Are you happy? He isn�t happy. Were they at home? No, they weren�t.
Hope it helps.

Moravc is basically right, but it is perfectly okay to say "I haven �t got blue eyes. I have green eyes."
