Buying a car from the USA

[Church of Noise]

I've recently won an auction for a classic based in the USA and am currently looking into the practicalities to get the car here.

Could the wise people of PH please give me some advice on these items:

• Can you recommend a good and affordable shipping company?
• How did you go about payment? The seller understandably wants their money before releasing the car, I'm a bit cautious about transferring a chunk of money abroad and having the faith that all will go as planned - What is the best way to go about this? Can shipping companies act as intermediaries and provide the funds to the seller at the time of pick-up?
• What else should I take into account?

Thanks!
Alex

Honestly just use CFR or Autobox or Jim at Kingston Shipping

Would like to, but I'm on the continent and IIRC both only ship to UK sadly :-/
