Any one able to transport my car?
I don't suppose anyone is able to transport my part built car from Bournemouth to Keynsham (between Bath and Bristol) If so how much would they
charge? I currently don't have a tow hook or a trailer only option is to try and fit it in a 3.5t Luton.....again...... lol or try and find some
other way.
I'm off work this weekend ideally Sunday and also next weekend and next Friday.
Let me know costs ect thanks a load!
Alex

When I moved mine (from Leicester to west wales) it worked out cheapest/easiest to hire a car transporter. Was about £100/day plus mileage, and
drivable on a normal license (the transporter I used weighed about 2T, allowing for a ~1.5T load, plenty for a seven).
Only downside is it's pretty difficult to get all the related stuff on a car transporter.

Big recommendation for www.shiply.com, it'll put you in touch with small transport companies who will quote en mass. Have used many times for
various items and once for a car transport

I wanted to hire a transporter 3 weeks ago and was quoted £320 for the day so £100 plus mileage was a steal.

Oddly enough I got similar quotes in Leicester and Aberystwyth, both smallish independent places.
