TheSamba.com :: View topic - Help! Shipping from UK to Los Angeles (Share 40' container?)

Mon Aug 28, 2006 6:13 pm

I recently bought a car in the UK and have been getting shipping quotes to Los Angeles. The quotes I have received so far (for a single car in a 20' container) are ridiculous. The 40' container is going to be much more reasonable if I have someone shipping a car to share it with. Anybody have interest in this? Are there any shipping companies that may already have cars to consolodate?

Thanks, Mark

Believe it or not, I bought a 1940's era Alfa Romeo "Freccia d'Oro" (looks like the one that got blown up in The Godfather). Most cars are more expensive in the UK, but not all of them. I thought somebody might want to ship a RHD VW or old Land Rover back to California. I just got a quote for a 40' container and it is not too bad (per car) compared to the 20'.

Anyone have interest in shipping????
