Moving stuff overseas, whether internationally or not takes ALOT of preparation and a good set of balls to deal with the (majority) difficult people.

He may have found some trouble with customs as well. When I shipped all my A-series engines and panels and all sorts up to PNG it was a downright nightmare.

Flammable goods?

Duty?

Profit or personal use?

etc, etc.

I hope it works out for everyone. Particularly the BMC boys, a healthy shipment of this size would have taken the heat off the domestic Datsun prices!
