from Clarksville, Missouri, United States a 106

[soren_ak]

looking at a 106 ´58 in missouri and have talked to a shipper that says that easeyiest way to get it home is to bring it on a trailer to either chicago or new york - then ship it from there to europe (denmark) - he also says that the car might get some hits from small stones from the trip and he cant garantee that it dosent get a scratch. -
anyone of you have ever tried to bring a car on a trailer such a long way ? and anyone got any ideas of an easeyier or safer transport ?
finaly anyone from BCF from Missouri that would take a look at the car for me ?
thanks for all input.

soren, so you finally found one thats great, shipping via open trailer might be less expensive but not the way id do it, we have a large number of very reputable "car carriers" here that use enclosed trailers and can provide you with proper insurance get on your computer and youll be able to find one in the states to suit your needs and budget. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/savewave.gif

Glad you bought your car from Missouri, Clarksville isn't too far from my house in Saint Louis. If I recall the car needs to be restored anyway, so why worry about a few dings. I would think you should worry more about the car getting wet. We are entering our rainy season here. Just imagine putting a wet Healey in a sealed metal box and shipping it across the ocean. Kind of reminds me of the 1957 Plymouth "buried car" we all heard about.

I suggest you pay the extra money and have it dry shipped door to door.
