Shipping day!

Ladies and gentlemen. The day has come. As clean as she will ever be, the little Ford Puma has had the last few photos taken in Brighton (by day this time), with the sea in the background and a few little videos taken to document the last time it will probably drive on the left (because it's supposed to be driving on the left!).


 Such a nice day in Brighton!



I then continued on to Southampton, to the eastern docks where my shipper operates from. 


And there you have it. Parked up with cars whose tyres are worth more than my entire car, the Puma is now sitting at the dock ready to board the vessel. She sails on Sunday, by which point I will have arrived in Florida, so two weeks with no car. 

The delivery and paperwork at this end I have to say; has been a doddle. I literally booked the shipment with a V5C, turned up at the port with a shipping note, got it stamped and handed the keys over. The only surprise was how short the walk was out of the port and into this lovely little French Café in the high street!

ISF filed with netbonds.net - just awaiting confirmation back from CBP. 



Stay tuned to see how smooth it goes at the other end... Or not!
