we import vw's from california, as said above expect to pay 1000 pounds shipping, anything before 1950 you pay 50 quid tax anything after that you pay a percentage on the value, be that your fake value or the real one your choice "Can I legally marry people now that I am ordained in the Church of the SubGenius?" aka i know jack sh"t

I'd imagine that shipping a car to the UK from the US would be about the same price as shipping from the UK to the US. I paid about $2k USD to have my car shipped from UK to Baltimore, Maryland.

Living in South California must be soo cool. From what i can make out most of the Hot Rod and custom car builders are around there! As for a tow barge for alex there is a place near me which sells american pick ups. www.ultimatespares.co.uk |

Living in South California must be soo cool. It is quite fun. You are right. Most of the custom car industry is located right here. Chip Foose, So Cal Speed Shop, Boyd Coddington, and West Coast Customs are all within 30 minutes of me. It makes for some cool car shows (of which there is one almost every day/evening). There is a drawback or two. The earthquakes might heave us into the sea one day. The cost of living here is high as well....about equivalent to living in the more posh areas of London. A 500 square foot one room flat is almost $2k per month! But I can't complain. The ocean is about 100 feet from my front door. And we have the biggest Mini club scene in the US! 61 Austin Seven; building a 1275 'over the clutch' turbo, R5 T2'd, custom intercooled, megajolt electrified, canyon carver

The shipping was from Southampton to Baltimore. That was my total cost which included transport to the dock at Southampton, shipping brokers as well as taxes paid.

390's are hard to get parts for, like I mean headers and stuff. Go for a 460! Prob solved. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

Theres always RoRo, its usually cheaper than a container but there's more risk of damage. Also When My TR was shipped to Holland the guy contacted a company that puts 2-3 cars in a 40 foot container, I just dropped it off at the dock. That helps reduce the cost when 3 people share it even if they charge you extra to load and arrange.

Cubic inches don't make fantastic towing machines alone. Is that an invite ??? 8-) AlexF |
