A few years ago my father in law passed away and we sold his 1934 Rolls to restorer in Romania. If I remember correctly it cost him around US$4000 to have it shipped via container.
Of course I have no idea about the import laws/duties/taxes etc involved, so it may have been much higher at his end.

Can imagine, one has to caculate these extra costs, in order to see iff its worthwhile, to think about purchasing the first palce !

Absolutely, the value of a car can vary greatly depending on its location.

Believe me, I'm not. Though I never need much of an excuse to take a trip to Ottawa. Great town.

We have four other vehicles insured with the same company (including a Porsche) and it's registered as being driven less than 1500km a year. Oh, and did I mention I'm in my 40ies, married, with a young child?

Ahh, ok. You wanna be, say... a teenager, with no road experience at all. Insurance companies don't wanna even look at us.

I remember those days. They told me my rates would drop when I was 25, but at 25 they said no, that's 30, then at 30 it was "Well you aren't married..."

Ilionis is a wee bit closer to Ontario then Nevada is. Plus they got the great lakes to ship to Canada.

Bah, she bought a similar car from Texas but the seller didn't understand eBay and sold it locally for less than her final bid amount. "If you really want something you can figure out how to make it happen." - Cher
