Nobody so far has a bad word to say for Transcar auto shippers www.transcar.org who have now brough over several DeLoreans. Price depends on where thecar is in the US. Ring them for a quote. I paid $1275 from an out-of-the-way location in NC. More "regular" locations can be less than $1000

See the Importing article. The short answer is no, that's not true.

That depends on the car! £10k is quite a lot for a US import, bear in mind the shipping and 5% tax on top remember, you're looking at £11.5k (you pay 5% on the shipping cost as well as the price of the car). I'm not saying importing is a bad idea, just that better deals are out there.
