Do you know what a Zimmer is? Neither did Kelly’s when they were asked to import a ‘Zimmer Golden Spirit 4 door sedan’ from St Louis, USA to London in a 20ft container. Kelly's agent in St Louis quickly advised that this unusual car was 21ft long and therefore would not fit inside a shipping 20ft container. Even the client did not know the exact length so was most impressed when Kelly’s revealed this news to him and issued a quote for shipping in a 40ft;
Competitor quotes all assumed the vehicle would fit into a 20ft.

Because of the quick and professional response, the client booked with Kelly's International and thanks to great team work by the US agents, the car was safely recovered back to the St Loius warehouse ready for shipping just 7 days after initial enquiry was made.
The client (a retired businessman) was shipping the car to UK to help raise funds for his charity work –
he is hoping the unusual vehicle will attract attention during charitable events events thus enabling him to speak to the public about his fund raising activities. Apparently there is only one other Zimmer in the UK so this neo-classical looking car will surely turn a few heads. Kelly's were happy to make a small donation to help Mr S with his fund raising activities.
