I've never shipped a Marcos, but a lot of my
friends have shipped cars to and from Hawaii, they all shipped them in a
container. A shipping company drops the container off (they fill it) the
shipping company picks it up and it gets dropped off at the address at the
other end. I' sure there must be a company in Japan that can take care of
the details (insurance, strapping the car down, etc.).
If I can help on the San Francisco end let me
know! Good luck!!
Thanks

"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!
