On the actual shipping side, there are a number of providers and levels of service from shared shipping to dedicated containers. You are in a good location and I would do some calling around to local freight and International moving companies for leads. It's so much easier if you can deal with someone local.

You should be able to ship in a dedicated container for around $2500, the cheaper routes usually involve you turning up at the dockside with the car and drive it straight into the container and be there off loading at the destination, plus they are often shared containers, witha anything else that's going your way! If you want door to door service and all the paperwork handled for you expect to pay a big premium.

PM Coz as he brought the GT5 over from Italy. Within the last week on the DeTomaso list someone posted they returned to the US from a 4 yr UK assignment and brought back a Lotus Esprit. It may be worth a search and follow up there as well.

However, as discussed elsewhere on the PIBB very recently you will likely find even the best shipper in the World won't help you get a 5S in to the US and past DOT until it is 25 years old!
