Finally got around to buying a FGT and this just in time to participate in Rally III before shipping the car to Europe in a container.

As we would like to participate in the whole event at Rally III, but also get the car on its way to Europe ASAP hereafter, preferrably overseing the loading in a container myself already sunday the 14th if possible, the absolute best would be to find a place in Las Vegas who could do this.

Second best thing would be to drive/transport the car to Los Angeles but that would extend my stay in the US with another 1-2 days and as I´m already stretching my calender, I would really like to travel back already sunday.

Any info that could steer me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Get with Cosdel, they move cars all the time.. they are true experts in overseas transport. Check our LeMan's thread, I think we have the details of our contacts posted.
If not send me an email. Glad your deal is done and you selected the proper color, otherwsie I would be less cooperative... :)
 
Ok, here is their web site, make sure you get Marine Insurance and also that you have insurance when you drive the car over here...

Anders congrats on the purchase. :thumbsup
 
Anders congrats with the car!
You should do some mods while in the US :) in Europe it will be more difficult and slightly more expensive :)

In terms of transport:

I would not suggest shipping it from the West coast - it will take ages to deliver and there is no direct line (so it will be loaded and unloaded many times)
I shipped mine from NYC (it is the most common port of departure with many direct lines) takes about 17 days. You should book it in advance since there are lots of cars shipped and might be a problem with space. I have Used china shipping to ship my car.
This will cost you from 2.5k - 3.5k USD.

Send it by airplane to Frankfurt and drive from there - that is going to cost around 10$/kilo of the car
Good luck!
