Hi, bring it in with John Grange Shipping, based at felixstowe suffolk, John brought my carrier in no problem, sorted out the import fees, taxes, port fees loading/unloading etc, he should have a commodity code on file from my carrier he brought in from Ontario, it's a historic item so you only pay 5% vat on the declared value, you have to pay vat on the shipping fees aswell. however you look at it will take up over half of a 20' sea contatiner, It will cost you £2500 all in Richard, this is based on a carrier weight of 3.5 tons, yours is less, I would quote 2 tons for yours, John has handled stuff for the imperial war museam, this is right up his street, he is very helpful, dont forget your vat paid form as you will need this when you come to register it with the DVLA as an imported vehicle, no road tax, no mot, pay £55 for an age relared plate £75 insurance and drive it around the streets on 'L' plates until you get your 'H' licence (you will have to take out the gunners seat) if the police stop you say there is no seat for a co-driver and on you go ? even taking the 'H' test is easy the examiner will come round your house. Give me a call richard when you get time i think i e-mailed you my number.

Anyone notice anything odd about the attached picture of a

carrier?.

Crank hole cap isn't original, and the drivers sight is missing.

The wheel is ok, its the back of it, thats all.

I would want to use someone as local as possible.

I've used Kingston Shipping in Hull for many years, personal service, recommended, and close enough to you that you can drive down and shout at them.

Ask for Alan or Mark and tell them Gordon sent you ...

Thanks for that Gordon, where abouts in Scotland are you from ? aolt of my family live in Perth, and My grandfathers regiment were based in Stirling before shipping out.

Kevin

More pictures of your carrier please. it looks like its come on leaps !!
Is she up and running yet?
Where about are you in the UK?

I'm not sure now how may carriers still exist in the UK ? I quess Nigel can tell us. But its about time we organised a Carrier meet.

Lets all get together.

The record stands at I think 4 together in 2005 at W & P
( 3 x U C's + 1 x LP2 )
(There was another carrier at the show but never made it into the arena)

Should now be easy to break.

Myself and the Dodge collection are based in Falkirk, though I work in Aberdeen most of the time.

Good luck with the shipping.

Gordon
