I've had a message from a lady on another forum I use, kiwibiker, asking for information about importing a bike from UK.
It's an old Honda 750, so I've passed the info and references for compliance, ownership and stuff, but as my bike came as part of my house contents, she is looking for info about a single vehicle import. Companies, prices, recommendations etc.
If anyone can help, please either pass info or your email address and I'll forward it to her.
She's called Sarah by the way, and she's a vet (I think).
Thanks.

Hi

I've copied part of an e-mail sent to us, it may be useful. We hoped to bring a camper van in with us, the quote for shipping that is £4,500 A bike I guess would be a lot cheaper since it's not 7m long. Mind you, going on the house prices, we could very well end up living in it!

I haven't followed up any of the links below since it may not be an option for us to bring a vehicle, and I reached saturation point with the research and stopped for a while.
