Questions Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hello all. Please could I know if anyone has experience shipping a car (bought in Australia) from Australia to the UK. I understand I would need to arrange to change the speedometer from km to miles. I do know it probably would be quite expensive. The car we purchased is only a few years old (just), only 50k on the clock and has been fully looked after/serviced. It's a popular car in the UK however not as popular here so we managed to secure a very good price for it here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unzippy Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Check the Shipping forum (https://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/18-shipping-and-removals/) Iron Lady is very knoweldgeable about UK -> Aus but may have knowledge/contacts for the other way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolman Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 My feeling is because of the price of cars here it is only worthwhile if the car is something special such as a classic. Can I ask what the car is ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questions Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I have read a multitude of posts on this site over the past few days and I respectively ask this to not be turned into a UK vs Australia thread. I do not wish to debate. I shall leave that there. We carried out a huge amount of research and are knowledgeable about the price/value of this car in the UK and now Australia. Just lacking knowledge with shipping to the UK. I am asking for advice from anyone who has shipped their car from Australia to the UK. I shall also contact the professional as suggested by unzippy. Thank you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolman Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm not sure what you mean by turning it into a UK v Australia thread, I see no sign of that. Over the years numerous people have commented on on how it really is only worth doing if the car is unusual or a classic hence why so asked what sort of car it is.

He is right, and you'll find the Iron Lady thread repeats that advice again and again. For most people, it's not worth shipping a car. Yours may well be different, the Iron Lady calculator will tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
