Shipping a car to the UK
Think we've covered the shipping of house contents and cats(!) on here but does anybody know anything about shipping a car over to the UK? We're moving back next year some time and want to take our car with us if possible. If anybody has any info about procedure/cost, etc, please let me know.
Thanks, Sheryl

I looked at it a couple of years back, but didn't do it in the end as we had a good offer to buy the car. It didn't look that complicated or expensive - all of the movers that quoted for our house move gave us decent quotes for the car as well (most around US2000 from Singapore to the UK I think). For the regulation side, I contacted the DVLCC and they were extremely helpful, sending over all the detials of what would be needed both paperwork-wise and physically to get the car to meet UK road standards. Suggest you contact them via the website.

Sheryl,
Have a look at this site:
http://www.autoshippers.co.uk/
They will arrange to ship your car from Canada/USA to the UK as well as the other way round, via the nearest roll-on roll-off ferry terminal.
Good luck!

Thanks for recommending that site. Unfortunately, I have had no luck with them whatsoever - have contacted them on numerous occasions but get no reply. Do you know of any other shipping companies by any chance?
Thanks so much,
Sheryl
