In 1999 I shipped my van from Halifax NS CDA to UK via
RORO (Roll On Roll Off).  I used Wallenius Wilhelmsen
Lines out of Halifax.  These guys do a loop to several
east coast N Am Seaports and to several northern
European/UK seaports.  I plan to do it again next
summer.  I'm budgeting about US$1,000 one way.  You
can gets quotes.   It took about 4 hours (and no
hassle) to clear the car through customs in UK.

You'll need the dimentions of your van and you'll need
"Green Card" insurance for driving in Europe.

Below are some helpfull sites and information. Enjoy.

My 91 Syncro Westy stats are:

Weight (approximately) = 2,000 Kilograms
Length:  179.9"    4.57 metres
Width:   72.6"     1.84 metres
Height:  82.1"     2.09 metres
