Transporting a car across town.
I need to move an XJ6 from here in Singleton to Shadoxhurst within the next couple of weeks. Its got no tax MOT or insurance so I cant drive it
across.
Can anyone recomend any one for the job or with the time and equipment (I'd be willing to pay of course) to help me out.

Your local scrappy should be able to help out.

I could lend you my A frame mate... then you can "recover" it to a safe place. if you have a tow bar. Otherwise i can tow it for you.
Not strictly legal mind.

Apart from the insurance.
ETA - just thought, you can get day insurance which would make it legal!

I'd still need to get an MOT to use day insurance. So it would be a waste of time and money as I'd have to go via an MOT garage.

Book an MOT the other side of town from where the car is ,that way you are passing your destination and insure the car for one day?

Thanks for the sugestions and keep em coming. The day insurance could work but its still abit dodgy for my liking.

I cant believe for the hassle and cost involved in getting caught anyone wouldnt just hire a trailer for half a day and be done with it.

Depends how old you are... if your 35+ you should still have the older licence so you can tow a car trailer.

I'm 23 next month.
I look on my local hire companies website (Ken Hire, My dad has used them for as long as I can remember and would recomend them to anyone) and the
maximum trailer load on there trailers is 2000KG so it might not be enough.
My Dad might have found a solution though. He's got a guy who might be able to take the car on Trade plates and sort everything out. I'll
report on what happens when it does.
