Depends on how you want it done mate.

Overland or by Sea?

Shared container shouldn't cost too much.

to be honest, would just be wanting the car back here in the condition it left in and cheapest way of ensuring that?

Why have you got such a problem with people buying cars from Malta, its not like they are being brought over here to be used for banger racing or are you intending to buy them all for yourself

cause it means less escorts here

to see a mk1 now is like searching for a needle in a hay sack

and they will rot like hell there, or will be written off just for a scrape

mk1's over here now tend to be looked after alot better now as people have realised how they rotted so try to prevent this, always garaged, cavity waxed etc as we know what will happen lol
