Haulage help needed for a Mk1 LWB Dartford to Chichester

[BUDGIE]

Needing help moving a Mk1 from Dartford to Chichester at reasonable price please!

I am wanting to buy Pete 4x4's Mk1 he is breaking so I can convert my German to a RHD.

Its a LWB High Top Twin-Wheel non-runner.
Located near Dartford, needs to be moved to Chichester.
My mate's only have access to Transit transporters.

CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE?

Cheers, Paul

Paul go onto the ukrecoveryforum.com and register there is a section on there were you will get a quote from some of the operators on there m8 hope that helps

Can't you tell the AA/RAC/Greenflag people you've broken down

[BUDGIE]

Bigmastiff - Cheers! Have reg'd & placed an ad.

AndyG - had thought of that, but from what Pete tells me it doesnt look like a runner thats broken down - more a non-runner thats needing broken!

kool budgie im sure there is a member down there who can help you out
the AA wont pick a vehicle up that is classed as a scrapper or that thay can tell when you call and give them the vehicles reg and plus the AA recovery driver will give it the heave ho so thay dont have to pull it even though it would probably be a relay job

try westbournes or ontime there drivers often do cash jobs late at night

why do you need the full van cant you go there and take off the bits you need

[BUDGIE]

Thats the next option Luke.
Would like the whole thing so I can transfer parts one by one over the next couple of months. Also, once I think about everything that needs swapped, its a big list as mine has pedals thro the floor, & I want to convert to pedalbox/servo with discs.
Interior, Steering, Brake bits, Diff, various mounting brackets, bumpers, etc etc.
Anything left over would be offered on here first, so the Forum will benefit.

budgie everthing down to door locks have to be changed! so its worth haveing the hole thing mate!

[MrMPuk]

As you're in Chichester I'd give Everymans a try, they used to do all my recovery work, and Merv was a great bloke. Or you could try Broadlands heavy haulage as they do a lot of heavy haulage work along the south coast and could probably add it onto a load in that direction, they are in Petworth.

[BUDGIE]

Good Man! Never thought of Everymans
- & I drive past there everyday!!!

hire a plant trailer or spectacle lift

[BUDGIE]

Plant trailer: I dont have anything to pull it with as the train weight will be trailer+Transit=4000kg plus towing vehicle.

Spec lift: Who hires these out? Never seen a Spec-Lift for hire which can handle a LWB Transit

[MrMPuk]

I don't think trailer and transit will be 4000kgs.

[BUDGIE]

Assumed figure for the trailer, but my LWB is 3000kg Gross (as I managed to get it tested as a Class 4 - as per VoSA recommendation)
