    Has anyone experience of doing this who can recommend a company?
    Container or RORO?

    The cars would be 1980 or earlier so vrt would no be an issue.
    I'm guessing that I would have to add about 30% to my total costs to cover taxes and fees.


    Thanks

    VRT might not be an issue, but you'll still have to pay duty ;)

    ....which will attract VAT as well I think..

    Be careful who you get to ship the car and dont do it AT ALL unless you are 100% sure of them as South AFrica is rife with crime and stiories of empty containers etc are legion.

    The best way is if you know someone locally (like myself) :D

    Where abouts in SA is this car?

    Thanks for the replies :D

    I won't be doing anything until I have all the figures and find someone reputable down there.

    I found the car today so I'm waiting for a reply to my email.
    The car belongs to a dealer, the address given is PWV, (google says province of Gauteng) and is for sale at R 16,900

    It may never happen but there's no harm in dreaming!
