Advice on moving a non runner?
Discussion
Best way of moving a non runner, using a cat b licence? Im looking around at hiring someone to collect and drop the car off (its 130 miles one way) but dont know how much to expect in terms of cost. Ive got the number of a company quite close to where the car is, so going to ring them tomorrow.
I've tried looking to hire a low loader (the van conversion flatbed ones) but i cant find any near me, and i found one at £100 for the day and 15p per mile!!
Im also unwilling to take someone with me and use a car to tow it with. I dont know anyone with a trailer.
The car i want to move is in Nottingham and needs to go to north west england, Blackpool.
If anyone has any ideas, suggestions or recommendations it would be appreciated.

a non runner you say, but is it taxed & insured? probably only needs tax for this to work.
ring your breakdown provider, tell them the car has broken down. recover it to destination. i guess you're fecked if it's parked outside your house though, and there are limits to the distance they'll recover.
dubious practice, but worked for me when i was younger and less bothered about such matters.

It has an MoT but not tax. The car has been bought, its not technially non running as its driveable but has a cracked head.ring your breakdown provider, tell them the car has broken down. recover it to destination. i guess you're fecked if it's parked outside your house though, and there are limits to the distance they'll recover.

Try posting an ad on www.shiply.com Worked for me sending my Jag from Kent to Andover. Worked out about half the price of any of the quotes I had for local firms.

is this a purchase or a sale? if sale it isn't your problem, if purchase then you really should have thought ahead.

RAC would only take me a max of 10 miles or the closest garage of their choice after an accident.
I said drop it at my house as it is.
I then phoned around to have it transported to the specialist I used approx 150 miles away and was quoted between £800 and £1400
I effected some small repairs myself to make it driveable, pushed the protruding wing back in and secured the bonnet with gaffa tape and drove it to a repairer about 24 miles from me. Independent transporters still wanted around £300 to take it to the garage I eventually took it to.
