Have any of us ever shipped a car from NZ to UK? I wonder how much it costs. If its less than £50,000 I might try to flog the museum and put a bid in on that Sunny with the performance warning.

Happy to assist in collecting and shipping, Mr. B. I reckon the sale of your camper would about cover the cost, sadly. That is however pure speculation, though I do have a couple of shipping contacts I've just found out about.

 

In other news, I quite literally cannot stop looking at this 2500. What a beauty, and local, too!

BIN is just shy of £1200. Hmmm........

I know they ship VW campers from Aus to UK, and last I heard it was about £1k. I would expect shipping from NZ to be similar.

I think the waiting would kill me more than anything.

Is that a goer, then? Please say yes, if only for the sake of making a great thread.

 

I bloody love these Merc SECs but only the early narrow grille ones in interesting colours. This one looks fab.

Sadly, looking up the plate details, it once had excellent black plates, registered MB3800, which some twazzock has let lapse, or had replaced with terrible new ones. On that flimsy basis alone (ignoring price and lack of storage), I'm out. And also it doesn't have a terrible wooden steering wheel, which will disappoint Junkman.

Is that the wait for the ship to arrive or 'the performance' to begin?

In the grand scheme* that's pretty cheap

 

I'm sure it was that sort of money to ship a motor from Melbourne (just over the water, like) 30 years ago

I'd want one more like this:

Checkout those wing-mirrors and TURBO written in the reverse on the front grill. So when you come screaming* up behind a car, they can look in their rear view mirror and be mega impressed.
