Shipping carrier

[eire05]

Can anyone recommend a freight company to ship a zed back to Ireland? Any idea about it cost wise. Anyone here have first hand experience shipping a car back to europe. Any carriers to avoid!

 

Cheers lads!

My Z was brought in from OZ, I didn't bring it in personally but have receipt of cost,  1200 sterling, and that was in a container with 3 other cars.

[datsun-jay]

Just looking at the documents now, there were actually 4 cars in the container,

 

1964 Lotus Cortina

1974 Datsun 260z

1973 Ford Escort

1965 Ford Falcon

 

Medite Shipping company Brought them.

Adelaide was the shipping port

MSC Elenora was the ship

 

Special Interest Autos

Welch Road

Victor Harbour SA 5211

South Australia

 

It says the above was the shipper from OZ

 

 

Hope that helps.

 

When are you planning on bringing a car over?

 

Might keep an eye out myself for another project.

Cheers for that: AT the moment I'm constantly on the look for something clean on the net

 

I reckon I'd be looking to ship the car around late Spetember / early October

 

I'm in 2 minds on what to do:

 

1) Buy one over here and drive it while I'm here

2) Ship before I leave Australia and keep it ticking over until then

I have not dealt with this issue before, but maybe you could try this place. I will look further into it when I get a chance. Car shipping was actually part of my asignment for automotive cert II so I should know better

Don't give him help people! He's taking one of our precious Zeds out of the country!!!

Business rule,

 

By spreading the number of cars available across the globe, we actually increase potential return in a market by realising the return potential on a vehicle that in its original market would have earnt far less.

 

Globally this has the effect of raising mean value for the product while in its original home market the competition for a diminishing availability of the product (due to the said vehicless departure from said market) actually increases the products value due to the constraints of supply and demand.

 

In other words the value of our remaining Zeds in Australia actually increases, based on the WA register of known Zeds in Australia, this would probably equate to a 1% increase in value, therefore the average Australian ZED valued @ lets say $5000 will rise to probably around $5050.00 when it leaves our shores.

 

LOL

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Now only if we had a flux capacitor, we could stick it into Lurches car, send him back to the future, buy up all the Zeds back in the 80's, store them away, and then open the vault 25 years later and make a fortune !

Ahh don't be like that now .Don't worry I won't trash her!! I'll give her a loving home! I've a 1995 Nissan Primera back home (my daily runner) and she's now at 196,000 miles still on the original clutch , gearbox and engine!! I never even had to put a clutch cable in her!
