How James Bond Makes Driving Classic Cars Look Good: International Classic & Luxury Car Shipping

For all classic car experts, no single person on earth embodies what every classic car owner secretly desires to be than Bond...James Bond.   In honor of the release of the new James Bond movie, "Skyfall" we look back on some of the best cars featured in James Bond movies.  All of these cars are also some of the most popular classic cars shipped overseas from the United States.

ASTON MARTIN DB5 - Featured in Goldfinger, Goldeneye and Skyfall

The one thing that is consistent about James Bond is that he always looks good. And he never looked better than when he was driving a Aston Martin DB5.  The name James Bond is almost synonymous with Aston Martin.  As experts in international car shipping, we love to ship Aston Martin's to our lucky clients overseas from the United States.

In the latest James Bond installment, "Skyfall", Daniel Craig brings back the classic 1964 Aston Martin DB5...and then blows it up.

LOTUS ESPIRIT S1  - Featured in "The Spy Who Loved me" and "For Your Eyes Only"

Ever been in a submarine?  How about a car that turns into a submarine? Of course James Bond would never be caught in the ocean without a fancy ride, and in  The Spy Who Loved Me, Bond drove a Lotus Espirit S1 straight into the water.  Forget purchasing a submarine, nothing is better than buying and shipping a Lotus overseas from the USA.  But don't try and be like Bond... we'll handle the ocean transportation....

Only in a Bond movie could a Lotus Espirit turn into a submarine...

FORD MUSTANG MACH 1 - Featured in Diamonds Are Forever

One of the best car chases in the Bond franchise is in Diamonds Are Forever when Bond drives Tiffany Case's supped up Ford Mustang Mach 1.  The Ford Mustang is one of the most iconic and coveted American cars.  It should come as no surprise that Ford Mustangs are one of the most popular cars shipped overseas from the US.

Only James Bond could get a car to drive on two wheels and fit through a narrow alley

BMW Z8 - Featured in The World is Not Enough

In The World is Not Enough James Bond drove through Azerbaijan in a sporty BMW Z8. Aston Martin was put to the side in a few installments as BMW made a bid to be featured prominently in the franchise. The car was classic James Bond...sporty, fast and flashy, but like most cars featured in the Bond movies, it met its untimely death when it was slashed in half by a helicopter.

The BMW Z8 was featured in "The World is Not Enough"

ASTON MARTIN DBS - Featured in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace

James Bond always introduces the next top sports car before it hits the market, and this was the case for the Aston Martin DBS.  The Aston Martin made its return to the Bond franchise and made sure to reenter the franchise in true fashion.  In the chase scene featured in Casino Royale the car barrel rolled a record setting 7 times.

ROLLS ROYCE SILVER CLOUD - Featured in A View to a Kill

A Rolls Royce is the true definition of  luxury when it comes to classic cars. The Rolls Royce Silver Cloud was featured in 1985's A View to a Kill.  James Bond fans were left at the edge of their seat when Bond was left unconscious in the car and left for dead in a lake.  But James Bond is too smart for that...after sucking on the air from the tires Bond escapes without a scratch.

Bad guys can try, but they can't take down Bond, not even if they try to kill him in a Rolls Royce

How do I ship a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL from the United States to Brussels, Belgium?

One of the most coveted classic cars of all time, the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL remains in high demand all over the world. Known for its many distinctive qualities, perhaps most of all its gullwing door design, the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL is a particularly desired item for many of Europe's car collectors. The first step for adding this item to your collection is locating a seller. The second, is getting the car from the seller to your garage, which is where a trusted international car shipping company like K International Transport comes in. K International is ready to help you ship a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL from the United States to Belgium.

A Silver Mercedes-Benz 300SL shined to perfection.

The first leg of the car's journey will be from the seller's location in the United States to the warehouse where the car will be loaded, blocked, and braced into a 20'std container. For a car like the Mercedes-Benz 300SL, this should only be done in an enclosed carrier. If you receive multiple quotations for shipping a Mercedes-Benz 300SL from the United States to Belgium (Zeebrugge, Antwerp, etc.), and some do not specify that inland transportation in the United States uses a closed car carrier, then chances are they just gave you a quote for a run-of-the-mill open car carrier, which just isn't good enough for something like the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL.


After that, the vehicle must be loaded, blocked, and braced into a 20'std container at a licensed warehouse. Here is another place where other international car shipping companies cut corners. Other companies will consolidate your vehicle with 2 or 3 others in a 40' container, in order to save on their costs, but putting your collector's item at risk in more ways than one. First, no matter how skilled the warehouse, packing a container with multiple vehicles entails greater risk than just loading one. Second, once the container reaches Belgium,  if any of the cars in the container run into customs issues, the entire container will be placed on hold. Next, K International only employs first-class steamship lines for ocean transport, because we know reliability is key. Of course, with such a car you may even want to ship your car by Airfreight, which we can offer with white-glove service!

Showing off the iconic gullwing doors!
