Transferring Money Abroad

[Spydaman]

I looking to buy a car in South Africa and have it shipped to the UK. What's the safest, cheapest, easiest way to transfer the money?

I would have guessed something along those lines too, but having direct experience of in-laws sending money to relatives abroad I now know that the correct method is to wrap it in tin foil and send it recorded delivery.
