Found: carrier project

[Paul Dutton]

Looking for a carrier project. Ideal complete BUT needing work, fabrication, mechanicals, armour etc. Anything out there? Any pointers please??
I'm uk based but help with overseas projects and shipping greatly appreciated.
Been trying for the one advertised on here but the seller won't get back to me after every attempt! Very unusual.
Thanks
Paul

Sub £10,000, that's why looking for project.
I'm mechanical/engineering trained and currently own my own hydraulics company so the fabrication and mechanical are not a problem.
Cheers
Paul

You certainly are a positive thinker Paul. Best wishes.
How many carriers is this now you have asked for details and images of these past few years? Perserverance pays off, however:

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.

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!!

Add a minimum of £3000 GBP to your purchase price to get any carrier home from the vicinity of Toronto Canada Paul.

Anything further afield over there then the price could potentially double.

So that puts you over 13K

I know of a British carrier that might be for sale in the UK for not much more... But will let the owner of that carrier shout up (if it's still for sale)
