Register on shiply.com ,, people bid to collect stuff all over , I do it somedays for fun.
Probably about 250 to take a van dundee to brum ,, sometimes you can get a bargain on a backload, lots of transporters come back from there empty.

Try Beamish Transport Co Durham has moters all over uk delivering campers caravans & cars, a phone call doesn`t cost a lot. You never know could be cheaper than picking it up yourself!

i told everyone who enquired (a lot of enquiries) that until the private plate comes off there will be no progress, i will not take a deposit for something that isnt ready to be sold. i honestly didnt think anyone would be interested because of my location.

Hi - I'd definately be interested in this, and I work in Dundee and Arbroath on a regular basis, and have a Transit Transporter so could collect, give me a shout when you've got the plate off it etc and we'll have a chat. I'm assuming given the "500 of extras comment" it comes as per the 1st Pics with the extras only now in flat black, in which case I've no issue with the price.

Your new van's a belter by the way.

Thanks
Mal
