The legalities of subsequently getting the aircraft onto the G register will depend upon what paperwork it's got (i.e. version of CofA or experimental category, whether the UK has an approval for the type)

Whilst de-rigging most light aircraft, even a biplane, is a less painful process than you might think (a LAME and a couple of able-bodied assistants in 1 working day tops), personally, I've always found that transporting light aircraft by road or sea is fraught, and almost invariably some significant damage is done en-route. Frankly, I'd take a couple of weeks off work and fly it. In the long run, it's probably cheaper, and I'd have thought a whole lot more fun. If you haven't the right licence, you'll not struggle to find somebody who'd do it for expenses (me for a start!).

Out of interest, what is it?
