Are you a US citizen or EU citizen?

You need to find out what are the import requirements into the EU for US spec cars. Even though your MINI was built in the UK, it was fitted to comply with US federal regulations. It is likely you have to change the aiming of your headlights, etc.

Exporting a car from the US into Europe does not seem to be a problem from what I have read. It is much more problematic and expensive to import a Euro spec car into the US, specially if the car is 25 years and newer.

Have you tried this company? Vehicles shipping, automobile, shipping, California, San Francisco, Car, Truck

They do RORO from east coast ports, that should be the cheapest way to ship the car.

1200 dollars is CHEAP for shipping a car!
