The start of Gumball 3000 2011 has been announced – Covent Garden on 26th May – just 5 weeks to go now!

Gumball 3000

Time: 9am – 4pm

What’s happening: Come to Central London to see the celebrities and over 100 amazing vehicles on display including the future in eco-supercars, buy the official “Tour T-Shirt”, and soak up the atmosphere before the flag drops at 1200

For any Gumballer still requiring transport arrangements please do contact us ASAP, we have arranged to bring cars back from Istanbul to London & Europe straight after the rally in fully enclosed transporters. Vehicles can then be delivered direct to your UK address or sent onwards to whichever destination you require via sea/air.

Transport to the rally includes storage at our facility outside Heathrow where we can arrange for your car to be fuelled and delivered to the rally start, or we can organise to have your vehicle delivered direct to Raccoon first for graphic work.

If you are into your cars please do come down to London for the Rally start as it really is one of the best car shows of the year! To get an idea of the buzz around the start of the rally check out this video filmed from the passenger seat of Gumball 3000 founder Maximillion Cooper’s Morgan:

Shipping a European car to the UK from outside of the EU may mean you can benefit from a reduced level of import duty by declaring it as EC Returned – you would also at the time of writing pay just £190 for 12 months road tax as the vehicle would be classed as Private Light Goods…

The new 650 packs a twin turbo V8 pushing out 400bhp through the rear wheels

If you are ordering one in 2011 from BMW in the USA expect to pay just above $90k for delivery in 2012 – we can then ship the car to the UK for you – you are able to obtain an instant quote for car shipping on our website which will include IVA testing and registration here in the UK
