A Work in Progress or Ready for the Road? Classic cars are our passion too.
If you have poured your heart and soul into restoring an old or vintage car you will only ever want it handled with great care. Your peace of mind matters. There are a few things to think about when you are considering international car shipping for classic cars.
- Is your Classic Car in running condition or is it being restored? This is a conversation to have with your shipping partner. Where you are in the spectrum of “being restored to running condition” will influence how arrangements are made.
- What shipping method do you prefer? Will your car be exposed to the elements or protected in a container? If it’s exposed to weather it may end up too dirty to assess damage when it reaches its destination.
- Protect yourself and your classic car with a thorough, cataloged inspection. Document any nicks, scratches etc. Grab your phone and shoot:
- Full front bumper at a low angle
- Front bumper passenger side
- Front passenger-side quarter panel
- Front passenger door
- Rear passenger door
- Full passenger side view
- Passenger side rear quarter panel
- Passenger side rear bumper corner
- Rear bumper
- Driver side bumper corner
- Driver side rear quarter panel
- Rear driver side door
- Front driver side door
- Full driver side view
- Driver side front quarter panel
- Front driver side bumper corner
- Hood
- Roof
Also include any mechanical issues or better yet, have these issues resolved before shipping.
Being Prepared Matters
Next, we counsel all of our clients to “know before they go”. Your destination will have documentation, customs and duties to deal with. Take the time to learn about this so there are no surprises on arrival and be aware that each country will be different. Please take a few minutes to read our blog The Hidden Costs of International Shipping. We are happy to advise you, but ultimately we won’t be there with you on arrival so it’s important for you to be clear on what arrival costs and procedures you will deal with.
