Shipping Marcos race car from Japan to U.S.

2005-06-04 by Andy&Alison Seward

Well, I've gone & done it: I (re) purchased my old race car, 1962 Marcos GT 
"Luton Gullwing" chassis #2006 from its current owner in Japan.  This is the 
ex-Stephen Minoprio car that won class honors in the 1962 Autosport 
championship.  I owned this car and raced it in Europe from 1994-1997.  
Never should have sold it.  Took me 2 years to track it down.

Now I need to transport it from Japan to the USA West Coast.

I would appreciate any advice regarding a shipping agent or transport 
company to ship # 2006 from Japan to San Francisco (preferred), San Diego, 
or Long Beach. For safety reasons, I want to ship in a container rather than 
Roll On-Roll Off (RORO) shipping.

I know its a long shot, but I'd deeply appreciate any leads or suggestions.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Best Regards,
Andy Seward
