Hi all
After a break to ruin myself in an SLK55, I’m back in a Zed having found a lovely one on the forum.
Only problem is it’s in Scotland, and I’m not…..
Can anyone recommend a transport company who could collect and deliver the car? Best quote from Shiply so far is £340 - seems a little high, but could just be the going rate is a lot higher in this seemingly never ending rise in cost of living!!
Thanks in advance and will post pics when car is delivered!

I have used a small car delivery company recently who were extremely good and very reasonable. They are local to me, South Lincs, but not too far from Stoke.
I don't think he would beat a Shipley quote, but he is reliable, reasonable, a really nice honest bloke and goes that extra; ie he spent 15 minutes assessing the car for me when he picked it up as I hadn't physically seen it.
I paid him £350 to collect a car from Exeter and deliver it to me in Spalding as an example. This was in May so fuel was at current prices.
If you are interested PM me and I will give you his details as don't want to put details on a public site.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Another thumbs up for Shiply - I've had a few dealings with them, including getting the number of one chap and using him separately a few times. Suspect there's no point in me sharing his details as he's based local to me in Guildford, but shout if you're really stuck!

Thanks all for your help and quick replies.
Have got a guy going up to get it for me on Sunday - will report back if it was a success, on cost and contact info in case anyone else needs anything moving. Gonna be a long couple of days wait.....

Hi All. Update, car delivered on time, in professional manner by a cracking bloke called Steve. Cost, from Scotland to Staffordshire, was a very reasonable £250.
Guy was friendly, had lots of tales from his F1 days, and the communication was great.
For anyone interested, booked via this website https://movecarsforyou.com/
Thanks again for recs all - it's nice to be back!
