Covered trailer recommendations please?

[Ocsltd 133]

I've just sold an SLK to a chap who wants it delivered in a covered car trailer / transporter.

Can anyone on here recommend someone reliable and trust worthy? The customer is paying, just want to make sure it gets there in one piece! 

Must be an enclosed trailer / transporter. I'm based just north of Peterborough, the car is going to Rotherham if that helps?

Any suggestions / recommendations would be much appreciated...!

Many thanks

Aren't CARS near you? Classic Automotive Relocation....in Norfolky, Suffolky way, not a million miles away.

Ahh, here ya go, Sudbury....could be worse.

I've seen their trucks, certainly look the part.

Could be pricy but if you don't ask you never know?

Thanks for that, I'll give them a shout....

Just looked at their website, think they might be a bit high end for my modest little SLK...

But they could fill a truck if they have a spare space, you never know, chime back with the cost.

PS:- I have never had a customer accept a delivery quote yet, they seem to think a car going from Hastings to Wales should be £50....not £400

Ha yeah I know, I did warn him it would be expensive. But as he got upset that the road was muddy on the test drive, I think he may be happy to spend the money!

He'd be the first man that is. Normally a quote soon shuts them up.

He might change his mind when I tell him it's £450 + vat.....

sounds about right to me, was that CARS?

Yeah

For about £4.50 per mile plus VAT it wants to be a premium service!

Well, just goes to show, I would say that just loaded on a flatbed wouldn't be far short of that price with no return fayre....and these guys have full insurance, transport 7 figure cars for a living.

......and one would like to think that the driver wouldn't have an Alsation on the passenger seat for company, a beer gut bigger than a pro-darts player gut, 'n a threadbare string vest or 'wife beater' for afteralls.... just guessing about those bits though

That SLK would look the dogs driving down the ramp of a CARS transporter.

 Well as he's paying, he can have it delivered on a magic carpet for all I care.
