Its like anything to do with transport, to ask for a price for something like that is like chartering a plane [kin dear]. If however its put to them as a return load if they are passing its all different. There are probably dozens of small car transport companies wizzing about in that area that come south or visa versa on a daily basis, I bet they are empty one way!!, like afron said its a free quote.

Thanks to all of you that's really great, I think you have solved the problem.

Reckon the Luton Van is the best option as we will get to meet Andy which is a bonus.

Just need to figure out best day etc.

Again many thanks for the help and hopefully I might be able to post about the build soon.

I'll second that, nothing quite like collecting a car that you are going to finish off as a project.

Hi All,

Again many thanks for all the help with this greatly appreciated.

Asked a local guy for a quote as he says he's cheap (we will see)

But reckon the Luton Van is the way to go, just one question before driving upto Scotland:

Has anyone actually put a rolling chassis Haynes Roadster in the back of a Luton Van?

i.e will it fit and how did you get it in (how big do my mates need to be)

Cheers,

Nik

Assuming a Luton is 7ft wide (as is my iveco flatbed.) It should fit no probs.
If the Luton has a tail lift, push the front on. A couple of blocks at the back of the ramp to the bottom of the chassis. Lift up then push in. Only 1 mate needed. Unless your both weedy.

Bob,35k to transport a load of overpaid muppets who acted like kids throwing sandwiches about and ripping up news papers.
