Shipping kit car bodywork from Europe to UK
MydT9 - 7/11/11 at 08:52 PM

What would be the most effective way of shipping some kit car bodywork (fibreglass) from Italy to the Uk apart from using a normal 'courier'?

I was thinking about any haulage companies that travel to that part of Europe and back who would have some space possibly?

Or is there anyone out there that specialises in these types of strange requests at a reasonable rate .....

cheers,

Contact the local International Hauliers, they will know.

good excuse for a road trip? hire a trailer and drive there load it and drive back. Would it fit in the back of a swb transit?

They would fit into a transit or similar ...... Road trip yes ...... 2-3 days of travelling one way I'm not sure ;-)

It's one of my back up plans though !

Cheers

where abouts in Italy are the parts you need we get parts brought over from italy every week..
Regards the road trip great idea a real nice place to visit
""BUT "" Be Very Careful of the location and timing parts of Italy get shut in for snow and crap weather in the winter
places where we go turn into ski resorts in the winter but you would not know it in the summer

Looking at 2 crates around 1800mm x 1800mm x 900mm weighing around 30kgs each.

Does that help? They aren't that big just a little awkward.
