I know this has been asked before I am sure, but can't find anything when searching?
Anyone got any idea of a price to get Roll On Roll Off to Sydney from London for an Oval Beetle.
Well its on a seventies pan so it will be a seventies beetle ;-)
Its RHD and over 30 years old thanks

Not sure if u r aware but they use salt on the roads in winter over there. Old cars seem to suffer from rust badly. Dont meen to dampen your spirit, i just wouldnt buy sight un seen

Tell me about it mate, should have made it clearer, I am a pomme with my sights on Sydney. Been in oz for 12 months, here for a holiday, back to sydney, for good, hopefully.
its a swedish import (no salt) still took eight months to weld up and the floor is all done too. Body of resto.
I know its a bit like bring sand to the sahara, but this car I know every last bolt and its a good un ;-)
trying to work out what the f$%k to do :-)

Try looking for ads in "Thoroughbred & Classic Cars". It's a classy pommy mag that has ads for shipping to Aus, Seth Effrika and Enzed
Pay your debts, CxxT
thanks all of those replies are helpful :-)

roll on roll off is by far the cheapest option 4 u...the only issue being the chance of shinny bitz being nicked whilst in transit ..take plenty of photos when the car is delivered to the dock....yellow pages has heaps of shippers...do it its going to be cheaper 4 u than building up another car in australia...getting nsw rego will be a snack as a private import..plead ignorance when getting it regoed as an oval much more simple...cheers steve
thanks mate, its a shame as the car is nearly finished, wouldn't take a lot at all to get it on the road, just want to see what I am looking at cost wise.
need to go to WH smiths and find that mag ;-)
I am getting more tempted that for sure :-)

Try Australian Van Lines-I know they are very good Aust to Tilbury in 20' or 40' containers. The London end may be able to help.

They can organise both ways- A WA guy took a Kombi to Europe and back last year as it was cheaper than motels and hire cars.
It is approx $AUD2650 from Aust to UK but not sure of current return.
thanks mate the best I have got is 750 pounds Ro Ro port to port plus any other costs that it will occur I am sure.
not too bad, someone at the shippers reconed 4k aussie dollars to get it on the road which seems a bit mad
