Very nice, looks like a CS not sure if it`s a 3/1 or a 6/1 but definitely not air cooled or 4.5 Hp unless something very odd is going on. Difficult to judge size with that beast in the foreground.

I am more interested in the JP4 sitting beside it!!

Wonder what it would cost to ship that half way around the world to you.

Freight?
I have palletised and shipped things before and found it is sometimes expensive sometimes reasonable - for no discernable reason
Just out of curiosity I asked the freight company here to estimate a pallet for me that might be a nominal diesel engine - half a cubic metre and 300kg NZ-USA FoB
I'll be interested to see what comes back, as this is a topic comes up from time to time

I shipped a gearbox and other car parts from England to New Zealand recently and it was under $500. Would have been more in taxes if I had have put the real price down for customs to get their pound of flesh.

Turned out freight quoted was kinda $NZ500+ shipping NZ-USA, probably similar to the UK? That was for a nominal engine-szed pallet (and, as you say, that is plus customs etc etc)

Customs is where it all falls apart. Since they have outsourced it to "shipping agents" they can hold your items for ransom and you don't have a leg to stand on. I had an issue where I ordered some rapier car parts from England and the shipper (against my wishes) put the total cost on the package but was annoying enough to include the shipping cost. I went from being well under the import tax duty figure of $400 to slightly over it.
They not only held onto it for 3 months but I was forced to pay nearly $200 in "shipping agents fees" and customs didn't want to hear about it.
