International shipping , Wales - Sweden ?

[Patriq]

I might be bying a second-hand Ultima from Wales. Does anybody have a company to recommend for shipping it to Sweden ?

Price is more interesting than delivery time.

Good speed !

Try this link to an early thread.
James shipped his car to a buyer in the US but I don't know who he used in the end. You can mail him from his profile.
I used BAX Global to bring in all my engine parts from the US.

If you want another option, I would be happy to drive your new car over for free (just pay for petrol and ferry) I am considering buying one once my house and workshop are renovated (in Italy). I am living in Edinburgh at the moment so getting down to Wales would be no problem.

Ok, you began it! Another offer: i would consider to drive it PAYING petrol and ferry! True FREE SHIPPING.
p.s. Congrats for the purchase. BTW is the actual owner a member of the forum?

[Gobber Man]

MMMMM...
counter offer - would supply all the donuts you can eat !
And can do a drive soon.

[Patriq]

Hi !

You can't actually drive the car.
It's in bits and pieces....

But thanks for the offer !!


I'll try the links mentioned earlier.

I don't think the owner is a member. He has never droven the car. It's been sitting in boxes since he bought it.

And I ain't got it yet !!
;-)
But thx !

Good speed !

Can't help with the original query about shipping but I'm interested to know where in Wales the Ult is. I didn't know there was another one in Wales - last time I was at the factory mine was the only pin this side of the Offah's dyke.

[Gobber Man]

It is a shame the last chap didn't build it but such is life...
Just out of interest how much did you pick up the car for ?

[gtr-gaz]

Would that be the one in the classifieds?
Bridgend?

I didn't realise that Ultimas dated back to 1980.

Drive it to Harwich, take a ferry to Esbjerg (DK), take the E20 to Malmoe, then you are home :-), only 750 Km or so

Someones not reading the whole thread.

It's still in those boxes along with miles of bubble wrap and all wrapped up with white and red tape.

MMMMM....

bit of a rethink...

I am planning to buy a race trailor soon and have some spare time coming up. Do you want to see how much you can get it shiped over for then email me to see what would be possible ?

PS bear in mind that shipping companies will drop kick anything with fragile on it. And insurance costs 2-5% and ouly pays out after 8 months and lots of arm twisting.

Oh,
you were thinking that you could drive it to - say Malmö - for me, and that I could pick it up there ?
Could be a solution.

I've contacted both companies in the link. One of them has replied so far (BAX).
I'm now in conversation with the swedish agent for BAX. We'll see how that turns out in relation to price and conditions in general.

I can keep the thread updated if anybody is interrested.

Cheers !
