it's not freight necessarily that's the big hit - for example i've just booked a door to door 40ft container to somewhere in china for £1600 on a 42 day journey. if they timed it so it could be done by sea both ways and the road/rail element wasn't too silly it'd be pretty reasonable. flight tickets for personnel are more than that - 10 economy seats to the states and you're not far off £6k, a couple of premium economy seats for the drivers and important team members and it's not far off £12k.
i like jarama too. estoril reminded me a lot of there, aside from the lack of dust. the location and slightly... retro feel to the place was very similar
