Hatch Back!!!!!!!!

Hooked on American classics.

Well here we are back with Kevin and his team at hills shipping. Last year we decided to change our chrysler for a cadillac but the only one that would fit in our garage was a 41 fastback which we found in New Jersey. We employed Kevin and his team to ship it into southampton. It all went smoothly until i saw it for the first time, it needed serious work. We were disappointed with the car and realised we were never going to be passionate about it so we set about doing the work on it and sold it to a car dealer in holland.

Unperterbed we began looking for our dream car once again. We found a one owner 1971 coupe de-ville all original with just 65000 miles on the clock. We did our homework and went into everything thoroughly with the owner Harry Clarke from Classic Promenade who specialises in quality rare classics. He was very helpful and imformative a real pleasure to do business with. Now the fun starts, it wont fit into the garage?! My first port of call ( excuse the pun) was Kevin at Hills shipping, i just left it all to him and his team. I had just 6 weeks to widen our garage! So weekends were taken up knocking down, concreting and building. We just managed it by taking advantage of the 7 day free parking facility at the docks. 

We assembled all the paperwork from Hills and went to the docks to collect it. Thanks to Kevin and his team all we had to do was drive it home. It was fabulous everything we ever dreamed of, we love it! It is a special feeling for classic car owners to have a car that turns heads and is lovely to drive. Thanks to Kevin at hills shipping for helping us to realise our dream. 

This one is for Keeps and with the greatest respect to kevin. Hatch wont be back!

Hi kevin would like to thankyou for the extremely efficient professional way you handled the import of our latest 1966 split screen vw microbus,having imported quite a lot of these over the years i have used several different shipping companies,but by accidentally coming accross one of your adverts in a classic american magazine and reading your (FREE DUTY&5%VAT)


I just knew i had to give you a call as other shipping companies just didnt seam to offer this,having spoken to you i knew i had found myself a new company to deal with and my wife wendy were both very impressed with with what we were told so we decided to set the wheels in motion.May i say how super efficient you dealt with our every needs,you kept us updated the whole way through the process,sorted out the BTI application and even went as far as sending me some photos of the vehicle at the uk port she arrived at,this itself is something i have never had done for me before and seeing as i never actually asked for these pictures to be taken ,this gesture alone was enough to make me use you from now on with my up and coming future imports.Me and my wife cannot recommend HILL SHIPPING enough and look forward to dealing with you again very soon,kind regards MARK AND WENDY SIMPSON..
