Is this a Mustang?  If the car originated in the US and was sold and titled here prior to shipping to England then the importer shouldn't have to pay any import duties.  Something to think about.

I agree big AL

I recommended several brokers but he (buyer) used one he chose!

I have gotten advice now. Thanks. Peter

I am sure if you put the car in the hands of a good customs broker all of the red tape will disappear-

US

Peter,

Alex will probably chime in. He shipped a car to me a little less than two years ago.

I don't remember any problems on your end, but this end has turned into a nightmare compared to what it was pre-9/11.

Hello Gents

It's been since I import from the UK to USA so the memory is rusty

I sold a car to a guy in MO

I live in the UK

He has set up the shipping (I recommended Phoenix but he went solo).

Does anyone know the current directions for me being in the UK for what happens this end.

I used to have folks just drop the car at the port, 99 percent sure the title got dropped at the same time and that was that

I believe the guy in the UK has hired a shipping guy with no UK to US experience

Thanks. Peter
