I've recently bought two cars in from the States myself both from Houston, first time around i had little knowledge and i shipped with Schumacher it was a disaster they damaged the vehicle and it was looted! the service i recieved was pretty dreadfull they even raised the price as my car sat at the dock awaiting loading, second time and most recently i used Kingstown shipping they are based in Hull and were fantastic i will use them again and can highly recommend their services, i am guessing you are bringing it by water? if so Kingstown were around £1200 USA-UK in a container with all paperwork and admin included.
The time on the water was just under 3 weeks but weather etc can have an effect.

Try "CARS Classic Automotive Relocation Servies" A very good one stop shop to cover all your needs. They have a huge amount of experience in shipping very high profile cars.

Did you get ro/ro or get it put in a container? I just got a gl550 delivered from Schumacher and it was fine. If you do roro your car is exposed to everyone from the dock workers to the shipworkers. Container is the only way to go, especially for a lambo.

Cost me $1200 to bremerhaven. I did not bother with insurance as I heard that is a con anyway.
