Transporting cars

[flounderbout]

I need to get my LS400 (which is driveable, though the brakes are not ideal...!) and my 2.4 (which is not that driveable due to the absence of an engine) from near Guildford down to South Wales...
Am waiting for some quotes on Shiply at the moment, but does anyone have any recommendations for car transporters that are cheap and might do that sort of area.
Or anyone with a trailer and/or some free time who wants to make a bit of cash...? Someone really bored...?!
Any thoughts gratefully appreciated.

got my lexus delivered to vince with a shiply trader, i found if you wait 2 or 3 days the quotes come down a lot. if you dont get any decent prices i can look back for the guy who delivered mine (trailer job). if i remember right it was just over £100 and was collected and delivered on time.

Take that Henry. It would be about£200 in fuel for lexurf...

Thanks Gary. I had a similar quote for the Surf a long while back which has now expired, but I remember it started off a bit slow and then there was a flood of quite good quotes after a few days.
Will hope i get some in over the next few days...

I can put you in touch with some Gypsies, who do a bit of car transporting if you like. Cant vouch for reliability of service though as Ive heard of people on forums, who say that although the car gets transported allright, its not always to your destination of choice, or even to a destination known to you. Dont beleive it myself.

The fella who delivered yours Garry had a 'beavertail' lorry, nice bloke but very pedantic, made sure the rear valence/bumper of the Lexus didn't scrape the the ground when lowering it off the back of the lorry. I said "Don't worry about it mate, it's being scrapped when I remove the engine and 'box!" "Got to look professional" he said.

He was from my home town too, Reading. We reminisced for five mins.

p.s. Didn't your Lexus come from Guildford too?

it might have done - i thought reading, cant remember. i never saw the car you cut the middle out and threw the rest away before i got to wales .i've only seen the go bit.

the guy who delivered it seemed decent on the phone and he wasn't expensive.i never saw him either e-bay bought and tel. delivered.
