A full 21 ft container is around the $1600 mark , a 41 ft is about double , add vat , duties etc. Even if you do consolidate the shipment and share a container , a fairly bulky 800 kg shipment will most likely come to R10k or so once all is said and done.
I use intershipping services in CT , but maybe call Warren Boyd , google Bossfreight or Boss freight , he is a car nut and might cut you a deal. It's almost impossible to DIY , so do get a reputable shipper/forwarder.
