Ural 6x6 Camper delivery Kazakhstan

A strange request, I have an Ural 375 which has been converted to a high spec overland camper.

Its in the UK, I'm going to be in Kazakhstan for the forseeable future, I need to get it to kazakhstan but don't have the time to drive the beast from UK--> Kazakh

Any ideas on getting it from A-->B I'm seriously considering just getting someone to drive it there for me.

Is this feasible (I have the logistical/import/export support in kazakhstan so can get the paper work all squared...in theory)

Is it feasible that some one would want to volunteer to drive it over for the crack, then fly back to the UK after delivery

Just an idea I'm floating

I'd think your option's are limited the truck will never fit in a container but could be transported on a low loader or flat back truck this could be a option.

But if you are looking at someone to drive it over I would like to think i could help you out any.

PM me if you want to chat sometime.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
