I'm looking to move a dismantled car from Vancouver to the UK. Could anyone give advice on how I go about this?

Being dismantled, it can't be driven anywhere.

I want to ensure all the parts make it back to the UK so maybe it needs to go into some kind of shipping box but a container would be way too big (and expensive).

Any ideas on how to do this and how much to budget?

Any ideas appreciated.

No personal recommendations, but remember, you don't have to use a full container; most shippers will buy/rent a fraction of a container as needed - when my stuff was shipped from the UK to the US, it turned up in a crate about 2.5*1.5*1.5M, which had shared container space with a lot of other things.

I'd suggest getting quotes from people to come in and crate it up and ship it for you; they'll be able to gauge the size requirements then.
