Dexter Morgan Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hi all, hope your all well and the christmas season isn't stressing you out. I brought myself a new car last night and due to it not being taxed yet I need to find a transporter firm in the Kent area that will deliver the car to Leicestershire for a fair price. Does anyone know of such a firm? I have a low loader that can be sent down to Kent specially to pick up the car but it won't be avalible untill later in the week and I don't really want the car sitting around long, as I imagine the seller is keen to get his money and finnishe the transaction. Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Morgan Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Just been browsing through google search results and came across A1transport.co.uk who have quoted £283.23. Seems like a good price but I'll keep shopping around a bit just in case there is someone cheaper, or generally giving better quality for money.

steve_d Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Have a word with Ultima sports on 01455 631366. They are in Hinckley and have cars delivered all over the country by a local guy who is not only cheap but takes considerable care as you might expect when delivering £70k worth of sports car. If needs be say Steve dunford recommended them. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Morgan Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thanks Steve, had a quick word with Ultima sports and put in a good word for you, but they said they couldnt offer just a delivery service thanks anyway. Nationdrive have just quoted me £220+vat, can't really shun that as it seems reasonable enough, so Nationdrive it is, plus they said they can pick it up tomorrow.

steve_d Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thanks Steve, had a quick word with Ultima sports and put in a good word for you, but they said they couldnt offer just a delivery service thanks anyway. What I actually meant was for them to give you the name of the guy they use. He is an independent one-man-band haulier. Still, your latest price sounds hard to beat.

bobtail4x4 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 If you look on ebay under delivery,there are a few people offering one way delivery at a quid a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveboat Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 hi i know its a bit naughty but join up with the rac a get yourself personal breakdown cover drive round the corner conveniatly breakdown ie say the clutch has gone ie not fixable by the side of the road and they will relay you back to where you need to go just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Morgan Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions, It was about a 230mile distance so I'm not too sure the RAC would have been keen on taking me home, plus they might not have fallen for it if they had noticed the car wasnt taxed or insured. Anyway, no worrys, its here now safe and sound and I was smiling like a cheshire cat as the lorry driver unloaded my new pride and joy for me. Very nice bloke too. "Nationdrive" I think its safe to say I recommend them :: thumbs up :: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
