Intended Carrier recovery, wisdom sought

[eddy8men]

i still say £7k is about right for a very complete carrier, the hull is easy to sort out the hard part is getting all the other bits together. as to shipping, i imported a carrier from the states last year for under £3k most of which was the cost of the 20ft container. import duty was only £200 as it's a classic vehicle but i've got enough rust to be getting on with so this ones not for me. (i reckon kevin could hide another one from his wife)

Happy to hear you made it home in one piece Robin. Thanks for posting your plans to the forum so that John and I could join up with you to witness the recovery and chat it up.

Sincerely,

i know of a carrier purchased in Toronto a three years back, Mk1 i think.. was chopped but lower hull was very complete with good drive line cost the chap £3000 GBP to purchase and return it to his garage, that includes freight and duties. But with these things price fluctuates massively, bearing in mind a few years back folk still had money to spend. if this carrier is to go up for sale i would give the following humble advice

1) A dealer will always offer you less than a private sale.

2) Europe will command a higher price than the US or Canadian sales.

3) If you are selling over seas advertise it on Milweb.net perhaps offer a package to get the unit to a specific port in with the price as long as the unit is sold within a specific time frame.

4) dont be pursuaded to break the hull and sell the spares you will end up with a tub minus its wheels and tracks and selling the other bits could take some time.
