Does anyone know the likely budget cost of getting these cars back to the UK? What % VAT etc and rough costs for US transport to docks and shipping?

Ps I looked at a T Ford Speedster not long ago and it he rule of thumb was dollar price = total cost in £ to get it on the doorstep here although we were dealing with a purchase price around $6000

that's about £21500 + transport a certain investment

Possibly 5% (min) VAT + shipping etc could get this to over £25,000 is it an investment here for a LHD drive car? I don't know but I'm interested to see if anyone has done this and the actual costs involved... The US is a big market and many cars come back here having been bought cheaply in US from local ads and once someone has done it there's the confidence to repeat Alan
I suspect that as they only show one pic of the outside of the car, that there could be a lot more work hiding under the bonnet/shell.
Is 21k for an unrestored '74 2500M a good price, not taking into account shipping/transport?
40hrs of 'servicing' won't have covered much.
If the car had spent all it's life in Baha California's dry climate, only used a few weekends a year, then it could be in good condition under the skin.
St Louis is a different climate, though.
This looks like a barn find that's been put back on the road as quickly as possible, for a profit.

Scroll down plenty more pictures, under bonnet and interior, but none from underneath unfortunately.Is 21k for an unrestored '74 2500M a good price, not taking into account shipping/transport?
