Wow, do they get them as low as £300?

Suppose they must do, as a friend paid around a grand for a container to Malta, which I thought wasn't too bad.

That was expensive! At the beginning of the year you could get your 40ft container from Southampton/Felixstowe to Yokohama for $1000...................... what costs you is the land side transport not the ship and I believe you will pay more than that $1000 to get the box from Manchester to the docks if you use the shipowner's truck or dedicated freight-train. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care

It was a few years back, not sure if prices have changed much since then.

And Malta being such a small island, think the onward transport was reasonable.

Still, once put in context $1000 for a container to the other side of the world seems good value. Especialy if you were importing a classic cali car.

Or for the theiving bastards, stealing cars to order from here and off to wherever.

Best way to ship a car from the USA is by the car carrier service - same one as LR use to take cars the other way!
Containers do go missing, I haven't heard of a floating multistory carpark being stolen, although 2 have rolled over in the last year............................ Ro-Ro, Roll on Roll Over! and there was the small matter of 1000 Saabs Volvos and BMW's that the Tricolor was carrying when she rolled over off Sandetti Banks a few years back 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I've said it before....

...count yourselves lucky in UK when it comes to buying prestige cars.

I would expect the 2010 RRS 5.0V8 S/C to cost around €180,000 basic price before speccing it with a few extra options.
