With a container there is a big chance of it getting damaged.
Anybody remember the demise of "Alistair",Rob and Martines deefer??? the container got dropped,the wheels were on a very sad angle,it was written off.
Its worth contacting the roll on roll off people,they deliver Landys to Fremantle,could take one home for the next pick up???

You will need a Carnet for some of those countries (and ones you'll have to go through).

Carnets are only valid for 12 months. Just keep up your Australian rego, no requirement for MOTs or other registration.

Instead of shipping from here why not use the $6000 to buy over there and then drive back? Lots of cheap Landies for sale in the UK. Put it through a workshop to fix important stuff and you're away with more money to spend.

Hi Jock

This should help - I posted this reply in another thread - Taking your Defender overseas


Your car stays rego'd in Australia, and you get 3 party insurance from someone like Tour insure - TourInsure: HOME

No need for a carnet in Europe, Russia or Mongolia

Alan

Awesome mate, thanks for the reply. Exactly what I was hoping to hear, didn't think it would be too much drama

Certainly looking forward to time in Russia, one if those places I've always
wanted to go

More of a chance of getting damaged on roll on roll off
I have a mate who is I charge of shipping Land rovers out of Southampton to the rest of the world. He told me don't send it roll on roll of as they stop in loads of ports between here and uk and only half the car will get there as stuff will be nicked of it.
I sent mine by container no problems and was insured in the container so no problem.

Ditto that, I remember sitting at Auckland waterfront thinking how much I'd hate to have one of those peanuts driving my car off a ship

And the same with things getting pinched, they advise you have nothing in the car, no fridge, radio, camping gear etc. All that stuff needs to be shipped separately or bought on arrival

Pretty sure shipping container is the way to go for sure
