Hi Donald,
I had a Ca. MGB shipped from Ca to Va in Apr 2003. It was a non-running car
which adds to the price and it cost $775 for open transport. Closed
transport and specific travel dates are more expensive. Brian Buxton's
website has several carriers who have excellent references.
I paid on delivery - others may require something different but that's the
general rule.
Here's a couple of transport co-op's - tell them what & when you want
something and they'll offer bid prices.
http://www.calcruisingauctions.com/AutoDispatch/VehicleList.asp - basically
transporters will bid on your business. You have the right to reject any or
all bidders.
http://www.shipvehicles.com/auto_transport_service/index.php - is another
"by bid" company - they have contracts with a lot of companies who will bid
on your transport needs as their schedule permits.
Flexibility creates savings. Also, giving the trucker (who is often an
independant contractor) control over timing will create a savings.
I realize you may not be interested in the least expensive price and may not
be willing to relinquish control but this is an option.
There's lots of companies who transport high-end cars - Brians website will
have several. Hemmings Motor News probably has the biggest listing of car
haulers in the US. There you will find all the "big-boys" as well as
independent contractors).
Either pick up a copy of Hemmings or try a search on their website.
Good luck on your purchase - it sounds like a great car!! ;-)
Sincerely,
Larry T ('74 911, '67 MGB, 78 240D)

Where's it coming from?
Could anyone who has had experience buying a car from out of state and
shipping it offer me any advice about the process. I am looking for
suggestions about shipping companies, ways to make payment easier,
timing for the transaction, insurance, etc.
