I am not sure how the Polish built FIATs would come via Bristol though? Seems a long way round.
It seems a bit mad to put Eastern European built cars on ships it dosn't seem far enough. I've been to sort of Eastern Europe by train (well Berlin) and it is just down the road.
It would make far more sense to send them via train. I can see why they can't send them all on transporters as there would be far too many.
I can understand French and Spannish cars arriving by boat as there is a direct sailing path to the UK.
Is there any canals within mainline Europe the ships can use?
Actually I am now thinking they could arrive on train to some where say in France or Belgium/Netherlands and then get stuck on a boat to get them into the UK? Or maybe shipping is so cheap it dosn't matter if the sailing route is 2000 miles furher.
