I should think you would have upped your game by now. Under £10k complete in the UK? I am not surprised you are still looking. With "all in costs" of shipping ex works, export/import permits, cultural goods exemption, controlled goods exemption cover letter, document fees, port fees, vintage vehicle tax and final destination trucking to your yard in the UK from Canada, would you already have spent close to 1/3 or more of your budget on shipping? I believe so. Only the cash outlay, without consideration for the hours on arrangments.

To say nothing of including costs of a inspection trip.

RE: "
Looking for a carrier project. Ideal complete BUT needing work, fabrication, mechanicals, armour etc. Anything out there? Any pointers please??"
Thanks Michael (i think!!)
Always been on lookout for a carrier, changed my direction a bit and bought an Airborne Jeep last year but now in a good position to fulfilling my dream.
They are out there,I've seen them. Chasing a couple abroad at moment, putting all my feelers out now to bag my next project. Know two local-ish that are possibly up for grabs soon but if something comes up sooner, I will jump on it!!
