Hi
Can anybody give me an idea of costs to ship over a car along with around 5 boxes of bits and bobs (no furniture) from UK.
Just a rough idea would be helpful and any recommendations on companies to use
Thanks!

Just remember that bringing your car to Malta will mean you have to pay the registration fee unless you have owned it for more than  two years.

What are the fees for this out of interest?

It's not just about proof of purchase to prove ownership.
