I'd be keen to know if the West coast of US to Sydney was much cheaper. Could then truck them to WA. But maybe not once it's on the ship.

1 Bus in a container ( Holds 2 Busses) is $4000. all in to Dublin, Ireland. My total cost for a container with 2 busses and a stash of doors, bumpers and engines was $8300 last time. I'm sending over a 1967  Mustang Fastback to England in a shared container and it's costing me $1600  on this end which is $400 chaeper.
HTH,
Britt

Thanks Roadcow, I get the idea now. The costs out weighs the whole exercise being worth while.

Yes it's expensive. Brookie 20' containers aren't worth the effort. 40' containers are only $500 more so it's well worth it if you have the product to fill them. Remember you pay on both ends also.

Part of the interest is due to rarity... splits are now too expensive for many, so the next oldest kombi is the 68-72. I personally think they look a little prettier than the later bays, with the long low-mounted indicators, rounded bumpers and side-steps... 68-71 also has oval taillights and curved air intakes which look great. I also like the little differences (the inner and outer doorlocks integrated with the handles, the petrol flap etc).


I think I am won over. I love the look of the '79 Microbus, but the lowlight DC wins hands-down on looks.

just a little update
the lowlites were from 68-72 and 71 was the start of the disc front and irs rear it  had the late rear lights and were only made in 71 and many have ben used as split doners  than scraped
but the sleeping beauty is the 72 another 1 year only with all the greatlooks of the lowlite but the later rear long light but the beauty is that they also have all the extra length to acvcomadte all engines 1600 -2liter without and  cuttung and these were also used as doners and the tip was there resting place
bloody shame
