how old is the car ?
as there are all sorts of rules regarding imports to the UK.
if its over 10 years old then its simple.

We shipped a 9 year old Expedition back 2 years ago, it cost (from Edmonton) around $3000 for shipping and insurance, it took a week and it got damaged - the company we used went bust and we couldn't claim the insurance.
can i load up my household stuff into it ??
No.

Re: anyone ever shipped car to uk ??
hi guys
thanks for replies
the mazda is 2002 3.0L petrol
i was only thinking of taking it because we could ship our 20 or boxes into it as they are costing us around $1500-$2000 to ship from toronto to london - thats
with us providing packing and doing the packing also and delivering and picking up the boxes from the docking terminals
so i thought if a car will cost $3000 including the boxes it works out ok
anymore thoughts ??
thanks

This may get you a starting point and would also suggest a search as this has been asked several times
