Shipping a car to the Dordogne

[Skyman]

I will soon need a new car moved from Sussex to the Dordogne. I want this to be in a covered wagon. So far I have checked out Cars UK, Polygon, Straight 8 and Kentvale. I know we have a few car buffs on the forum, so does anyone here have experience of any reliable firms? Thanks.

A fair question. It is about 500 miles to my house from the UK dealership. But the likely weather at that time of year, and no weather gear or windscreen is putting me off. May sound odd, but I do not want my first experience of ownership to be a nightmare!

Thanks. Quote are in the area of £1,250 plus VAT.

Classic Haul or Lizard Logistics are highly regarded but covered transport wont be cheap.
Estimate around £1.50 per mile + ferry.

Thanks for this particular recommendation. Just had a good chat with Si at Classichaul. Seemed to know his stuff.

And a very fair point , it's a long way in the rain , good luck in finding someone . I'll keep my eyes open for you as I have a house down that way , no roof or screen , you'll be the guy with a good tan !

Apart from the fact I just bought a Stilo full face helmet so as to avoid chips in my head!

Give Jan a call or email. - They were brilliant and a very good price.

Where are you in the Dordogne?

Thanks, will do. We are just north of Excideuil, close to Hautefort.
