Route in detail
How the project was handled
Auction yard, Japan
We accepted the pre-owned Aston Martin Vantage GT12 at an auction yard in Japan. The certificate records first registration in 2015 and mileage of 16,200 km on 17 December 2024.
Terminal and container preparation
We moved the vehicle from the auction yard to the Japanese terminal and prepared it for loading into one 20-foot container.
Control and documents in Bremerhaven
At the Bremerhaven stage, we completed an additional inspection and photographic record and prepared the export certificate, Bill of Lading and CMR consignment note. Customs formalities caused a short delay.
Bremerhaven → Prague
After the ocean leg, we arranged road delivery of the container to Prague and maintained control through the final route segment.
Mansory showroom, Prague
After unloading, we recorded the vehicle's condition again and handed the Aston Martin Vantage GT12 over at the Mansory showroom. There was no damage or client complaints; our responsibility ended at handover.
