Well, looking on the bright side this could be #10719 up to her neck in seawater! Ironically it was the extra paperwork that the NY port authorities requested before the car could be shipped from Indiana that in the end resulted in her NOT being in NY when hurricane Sandy hit. However, the aftermath of the hurricane has meant that yesterday when she should have been making her way across the Atlantic she's still stuck in a garage in Indiana.
Its been a stressful week for me, not knowing when and if the car will leave from NY, but thankfully it looks like hope is in sight with a transfer to the port of Baltimore early next week. No dates have been confirmed yet, and we don't have a date for the car to be picked up from Indiana, but at least there is some progress. Fingers crossed that by this time next week she should be on a ship sailing towards good old blighty and her new home!
There is one fly in the proverbial ointment in the shape of the original Bill of Sale and Title, which are in NY somewhere, hopefully safe. These will need to be sent down to Baltimore ahead of the car to allow it to leave the US and then sent to me ready for presentation to the DVLA here in the UK when registering her. I'll keep posting with progress next week, and hopefully good news!
