Importing a car from the USA how and where!?

[jason61c]

I've found a car I want to import from the states.

Does anyone know who is cheap and reliable for this type of service? Car is over 30 years old so no duty just 5 percent vat to pay.

Where do I start???

Roo is probably the first port of call, no pun intended, drop him a line as he deals in yank tanks.

If he's unable to help, drop me a line, we'll be able to bring it in for you.

Costs vary depending on where the car's located in the US, how you choose to ship (RoRo being the one most go for), and where from / to.
I wouldn't be so sure they'll automatically waive it through under the historically significant discounted rate, but of course it depends on the car (30 years old isn't the only criteria AFAIK, but I've not looked it up recently).

The import process itself is nice and straightforward.

The cars actually nearly 40 years old so all being well they will.
