Now then boys & girls, how's Easter under house arrest going?

Just a quick Q. I'm seeking a quote to have a car (Rover 416 estate), brought from Liskeard, to Marple, South Manchester.

Any recommendations/caveats?

Thanks, dh

We’ve used this chap a few times and he’s always done a great job, Cornwall based and normally a good rate too.

Thanks. I had a leather interior transported via them.
Wasn't sure they took vehicles.

It’s 302 miles. I’d charge £1.75 per mile.

Based in the N.W. We’ve been transporting cars 33 years.

Message if interested.

So what do you want him to do? Pay his own diesel and deliver it out of the goodness of his own heart, or earn a living? FFS, this is why most areas of road transport are fked! My V8 Scanias get between 7- 9 mpg when running at 65t..

We have been quite busy on the low loader, so I've been out and about....Possibly read more into it than I should, and I'm slightly pissed, so, apologies my friend.

That’s not his problem.

If you think you’re going to get it for cheaper than 2 Rovers you’re onto plumbs.

I think you'll be safe with a Rover 416 but bear in mind some cars have been picked up after a shiply quote never to be seen again , also if they turn up with a land rover and trailer it'll need a tachograph, van and trailer needs a tachograph and an operators licence.

if they get stopped by DVSA without your car could be offloaded and left where they stop it.
