Transporting car Midlands to Glasgow

[Nj]

Haven't a clue what section to post this under i'm afraid.
I'm buying a shell off Sal (around Birmingham) and need to get it to Glasgow. I'm looking into hiring a flatbed with winch to drive down and get it. Or since it will be rolling I might be able to A frame it if I can borrow one. Just wondering if anyone is planning on passing this way and has the means to bring the car up for me (i'd be happy to pay)? Or if you can recommend someone (cheap) that would deliver it for me?

cheers

I'll ask my mate in Brum who has a Landie and an A-Frame but I think he broke the Landie green laning the other week DOH

Transport.

Check ebay Classic Car section for price on professional transport, little bit over the top for a shell but then you've got a price, unless someone on here can help?

cheers carlos, yeah i've had a nosey but was hoping i'd maybe find a cheaper way. like you say, it's only a shell so i could end up paying as much for delivery as for the shell itself.
If it comes to the crunch i'll just need to do the big drive. hey - at least it's not in London.

Lol well I just found out the story, he was green laning and got stuck, he was outside the car hooking up the winch when his dog who was sat in the back jump foward and knocked it from park to drive!

[Nj]

haha. so his dog broke his Landie? that's great. not for him obviously. At least it wasn't a quality Audi sat in the high street. I wonder how the insurance would work for that? "hello, erm.. my dog wrote my car off." Maybe the dog would get 3 points?
right.. i'll stop now.

Lucky for him it's not a write off, bust front calipers and axle and rear axle, front drivers side headlight is smashed and scatches all down the side

He's done the rear, still working on the front.

Lol his dog is a big rottie!

[mcandmar]

"bust front calipers and axle and rear axle" How the *beep* did it do that?

[Jamo]

Hit a tree at an angle apparently and then rolled down in a fence.

[Nj]

trying to chase a cat up said tree perhaps?

my threads always go off on randon tangents

just spoke to a mate who delivers cars down south at times and he's trying to wangle a space on the flatbed for me on a return trip. woohoo!
