Transport companies?

Looking to get my rolling shell back from Lincoln to Dorset but struggling for a tow car. Any recommendations of anyone near me with a flatbed/trailor who would do the round trip. Would ned to weigh up the cost against doing it myself........

Chris,

When I had to collected my RS, I hired a trailer from Gary @ Ebblake Autocentre, and he told me about a van hire company in Ringwood, and they did me a good deal, think it was about £35/day!! but that was 4 years ago lol

Worth a shot though, certainly be a lot cheaper than paying someone do move it for you.

Kev Curtis is a flat'bedder aka modena green on here - he localish for starters

Thanks guys. I do have a trailor but recently lost my beloved Shogun to the dreaded ferrous oxide after 22 years ownership! Been looking at hiring a vehicle but today came across this website:
www.shiply.com
Just enter your collection and delivery points and geezers post their prices for the job. Up to now I have three quotes £255, £210, and £160 !! This is for 240 mile trip. If I take into consideration van hire charges, fuel and most of all, my time - 160 squid gets my vote
There is a feedback system just like Ebay - what do you reckon....am I being a nobber
