When I moved across here, I left some boxes behind in a mates house.
Most are full of car magazine collections from the last 20 years and the other boxes I've forgotten about biggrin
My storage has now come to an end so my options are to store elsewhere or put it all into a container as a part load and get it shipped here.
It's probably a large pallet load.

Anyone know of anything coming this way?

Maybe I should get that Panther Kallista my wife keeps wanting and put it all in a container scratchchin
and a Corvette for me...will 2 cars fit OK?

I know someone who might be bringing a car across from the UK in a container in the next few months. I think he would be up for selling a little space. Container would be coming to Wellington.

Wellington's fine. I'm still to speak with mate in UK but shipping on the cards if I can't get new storage.

Back to the idea of the PH collective container for a couple of cars and parts and boxes of stuff!

I know from when I moved here from UK that two TVRs (Wedge and Vixen) will easily fit in a 40ft container. They packed the household stuff over the top of them with a sort of shelf arrangement, and I had a few boxes of spares (and even a spare V6 engine !) too.

The box I know about will have a Radical in it, so no reason not to stack other things in there. I already have dibs for a bit of space for Caterham parts...

Where in the UK will it be loaded?
Do you know when it's shipping and if a pallet size cube will fit?

We've just come over. We moved out of a 3 bed semi, didn't bring everything (no lounge suite) over but put it in a 40 foot container. The house stuff took up about a third of the space and the rest we filled with a car.

If we left more stuff from the house I reckon we could have got two cars fitted in, sort of wished we'd brought the Skoda too now looking at prices over here, ohh well.

Good luck getting the bits over....
