Moving a car from North Yorkshire to Daventry

Bob Walker · 25th July 2021, 18:17

Dear all
I have put this in the pony express section but having thought about it I think it is in the wrong place so decide to post it here
Dear All
Before I start phoning around for prices, I thought I would post this to see if anyone on the forum can help or give me any advice
I went to Lates 600 yesterday and had all the rear subframe and clutch replaced. Leighton did remark that the new gearbox guide tubes can leak and this one does!! He said he would kindly sort it out but I dont fancy the three hour drive down to his place from Richmond North Yorkshire in my car with a very leaky gearbox!! It has saved me a job of rust proofing the front end!!
If any can move the car or knows a good person to do it please can you let me know?
Thank you in advance,
Bob Walker

I have used Shipley in the past, if you are in no hurry and can pick up a return load it can often be a lot cheaper.

Last year I had a car I needed to move from Oxfordshire to Scotland and as there was no rush and somebody needed a return trip it cost under £300.
