BTW, Chris, what would the postage to the UK on this gem be?  :-) Just in
case.

I'm pretty certain that Larry meant to type shipping and not postage.  I
can't imagine a Post Office accepting a car for postage as a parcel.  Most
have limitations that any car would far exceed.

Probably one of the container companies would be able to help out, or it
could be shipped through some international car freight service.  I really
don't think the Post Office would take it.  ;-)

I'm always amazed by the numbers of cars I see in the UK from the US and
middle east. Most are cars which are quite new, and could be rented here.
The cost of bringing it to the UK must make it a real indulgence.

Well, given Lindsay's $1100 or so shipping cost, rental for several months
would start to approach the shipping cost. You may also be seeing people
avoiding import duties or otherwise finding some angle around cost or
regulations.
