Shipping a classic car should only be carried out by specialists such as ourselves here at ShipMyCar. Sourcing spares or performing repairs on rare classics can be expensive and take time, therefore you need a shipping company that will ensure your vehicle arrives safely and in one piece.

Classic Car Shipping

All of our shipping agents and loading teams we employ are experienced with moving vehicles and are passionate about motoring, we ship by container to ensure your vehicle is locked away from the elements as early as possible and are unloaded in secure customs bonded warehouses.

If you are using us for our full service import into the UK we will ensure only the minimum modifications for MOT are carried out to avoid changing the original look of the car in anyway

We ensure any vehicle over 30 years old where applicable will not pay any import duty and just 5% VAT, we also ensure that you pay no road tax

To get an instant quote for your classic car shipping requirements please visit ShipMyCar.co.uk and use our unique quote system to calculate: International transport to port, shipping, marine insurance, customs, unloading & loading, testing and registration. We are working on a Classic Car Shipping Guide – this will be online soon

Solar Powered Roads https://www.shipmycar.co.uk/solar-powered-roads/ Fri, 28 Jan 2011 13:54:40 +0000 http://www.shipmycar.co.uk/?p=810 Car shipping specialists ShipMyCar discuss the possibility of solar powered roads

Is a solar-powered glass road in our driving future? Scott Brusaw, an engineer from Idaho, believes so. With aid and interest from the federal government and General Electric, Brusaw has been refining his concept of the road of the future. Super-strong glass and solar cells embedded below the top layers could serve as both a nexus of travel and energy.

As the sun energizes the solar cells, energy can be transferred to power street signs, nearby homes and roadside businesses. In snowy climates, the collected energy could heat the roadway and melt snow and ice, eliminating the need for large fleets of plows.

Brusaw insists that glass developers can create a strong enough material that traction and durability would not be an issue. A few problems do stand in the way of course, as is typically the case with new ideas and technology. Most notable of these problems is the issue of cost. Brusaw estimates that it would costs about $4.4 million per mile to lay down this super-glass roadway. Of course, the road would eventually recoup that money and even generate a greater return, but the initial cost is a daunting one.

Brusaw hopes to begin proving the effectiveness of the technology and he is going to do so by starting smaller by teaming up with a nationwide chain to revamp existing parking lots. The lots could be heated and also over a recharging station for electric vehicles.
