You'll be doubling the price at least, for on its own in a container.

I know quite a few people in UK (some more than once!) that have used Schumacher Cargo Logistics for bringing cars in from the USA.

Schumacher are very good for container & are good for US collection but you will have to collect from UK port. RoRo is cheaper but anything not bolted on will get nicked by ferry people, container sharing has never been a problem (so far) & you can leave stuff in cars safely

I used Shipmycar last year. Couldn't fault them. Kept me regularly updated.
They offer additional services but I just asked them to collect the car from the owner in California and I then picked it up from their warehouse in Milton Keynes.

Speak to John Kuhlin there.

He has imported and exported to the US for me and never a problem.

He was very helpful and guided me through the daunting process for a novice like me

There's also the (Scottish?) guy on here who imported 99T's El Camino could be worth a try as it seemed he was bringing cars over regularly.

+3 John is a stellar guy, he may be a little more expensive than the other companies but believe me this is made up with the passion he has about the safe delivery of your car, he goes above and beyond.
He has the experience to head off any issues before you even know about it.

Makes what can be a daunting process a pleasure
