David,
I used Olimpex out of New Jersey - they were fantastic, cheap, and I hardly lifted a finger. Bear in mind my car was in bits so was container freighted, and wasn't classed as a vehicle for tax purposes.
I've heard many horror stories about Ro-Ro and bits getting stolen, cars being pushed off boats with stacker trucks etc.
Bear in mind 17.5% VAT tax plus import tax and destuffing this end - mucho money!
If you can, go for a pre '75 car. It won't need a test called an "SVA" at that age, or an emmissions check - or seatbelts!. RHD headlights are real easy to get over here, and you can put orange bulbs in the reverse lights and re-wire for rear flashers.
Book EVERYTHING Stateside, even the customs clearance and paperwork in the UK. It's a hell of a load cheaper than to order things here.
Any more info needed, just ask.
Phil
Bigger,louder, faster, better.
