While I prefer to sell to individuals who can inspect a vehicle in person, overseas buyers are welcome to make their own arrangements should they wish to proceed. I do not endorse any of the companies mentioned below; they are simply examples of firms that previous buyers have chosen to use. All prospective international buyers are responsible for organising the following independently.
If you are located overseas, please contact a shipping provider of your choice to obtain a quote.
Some previous customers have used Autoshippers, one of the UK’s long-established car shipping companies. For those interested, you can find out the respective port-to-port shipping costs via their website, as well as information about both Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) and containerised services. They also work with certain overseas partners - such as Horizon Auto Shipping Inc. for the USA - who can assist with local formalities once the vehicle arrives, although similar arrangements may not be available in every country.
Vehicle collection from us and delivery to the nearest UK port (Southampton) is typically around £300, and this is something that can be arranged via Autoshippers.
If you cannot view the vehicle in person, you must arrange an independent inspection prior to purchase.
There are many providers offering this service, such as the AA, RAC and ClickMechanic. Most past buyers have used ClickMechanic due to their typical next-day availability and competitive pricing, but you are entirely free to choose any inspector.
Once your designated mechanic has completed the inspection, they will report back to you directly.
Once you decide to proceed, we will issue a contract of sale and invoice. Payment must be made by bank transfer.
You will then need to organise collection and shipping with your selected provider and liaise with them directly.
We can store the vehicle for up to 28 days from the date of sale.
After payment has been received in full, we will send the vehicle’s documentation file separately via tracked post. This will include:
Please inform us of your collection arrangements in advance. We will require the name and contact details of your designated transport provider, along with the date and approximate time of collection.
The vehicle will not be released without your explicit authorisation.
If you have any questions or sales enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact Phil.
We purchased our dream classic Mini from Phil and could not be happier. We imported it to the US and he made the UK side of things as smooth as possible. He was very helpful and answered all of our questions. We are thrilled with the car and would recommend Phil highly if you're looking for a high quality mini.
I have just sold my 2001 Rover Mini Cooper Sport to Phil Mires. During the process, I have been impressed with the professional attitude and genuine support received. I was very impressed by his knowledge and vision. First class methodology and extremely prompt payment make this endorsement easy to write. I wish him every success for the future.
From start to finish Phil was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Knowledgeable, professional and kind. I absolutely adore my new (but old!) Mini Cooper. She's a beauty! Would definitely recommend and if I'm in the market for a classic again, Phil Mires Classic Cars would be my first port of call.
