carrying capacity and long haul drives.

Probably be cheaper/ easier to fly over here and buy a cheap estate/people carrier and either scrap it when you get over there or buy a LHD vehicle and register it then sell??
You could also save a bit by sleeping in it on the journey lol.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationLong MOT and cheaper than a trailer lol

That's not a bad idea actually. It would have to be scrapped, as no one would buy a large engined car like that anyway. Which would be a shame, but it is 17 years old I suppose. Expensive in ferries both ways rather than one. And very thirsty I should think. Have to write off both the airfare and the cost of the car too, whereas a jimny roofrack is mine or highly saleable here.

They do 22mpg. So 2000 miles will cost take about 420 litres at av cost of 1.2 a litre makes about 500 quid in fuel. Ferries about 300 plus 200 so another 500. Airfare 200. Accom, 350 (7 nights assuming i don't sleep in the car). plus cost of car 700. So about 2500 written off.

Whereas jimny and roofrack would be 320 roofrack. 34mpg in the jim makes 260 litres or 312 quid times 2 (return trip) makes about 600, plus say 250 and 150 on ferries (shorter). Accom 12 nights 600. So about 1900 quid. And I get to keep the roofrack which I could sell so the 'written off' value reduces to about 1600. Saving 900 quid. But at the cost of a load of my stuff. Is that stuff worth 900 quid? Probably not! Very rough figures but probably ballpark.

At that point would it be possible to get a friend or acquaintance to put the contents into a shipping crate and have it couriered to you, a pair of meter cube boxes can't cost 1600 quid to get across Europe ?

Just a rough quote but parcel monkey want 184 quid to send 100kg from uk to Greece via DHL. Much better than arsing on driving with a rack or trailers

Unfortunately that's difficult. It' all personal possessions stuffed into cardboard boxes and the like and is distributed across two sites. Estimated volume between 2 and 3 cubic metres. Quoted cost from removals firms between 1000 and 1300 quid. Cost goes down if you use smaller boxes, but some stuf won't fit in smaller boxes.

It's one of those problems to which there is no good answer. Just have to take the hit and get on with it.
