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

Default In your location ....

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 ...

Default Looking good

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

Default shipping

Hi Richard
I meant to drop you the contact of the shipping company I used, but it seems you already have it from Gordon. I also used Kingstown shipping, just down the road in Hull. Exceptional service, the final bill including onward shipping from southampton was around £2k from Toronto.

Kind regards

nick

Chris,

Contact Patrick Tierssoone of ABN Transport and tell him I sent you. I know Patrick has (had) vehicles shipped from Australia to Europe, notably an LVT 4 for the For Freedom Museum, Belgium. Even though his company is specialised in the international movement of abnormal loads, he should be able to point you in the right direction at least.

Regards,
Hanno

Default Aussie Blitz Freight

Hi Chris


There is a group of us Aussies attending the 65th D-day activities this year and we are bringing our own vehicles via Turkey, Greece, Crete, Italy, Switzerland and into france. We are freighting 17 Vehicles to Istanbul. I'm not sure of the costings but it is not off the planet.
Do you have the truck or are you looking for one?

Nigel
