Here provide a 1500Kg load at £180 for the weekend including 500 miles (9ppm after that)

They've got a depot in Glasgow, so there's the possibility of being driven up, say in a comfortable 1.9TD estate taking it nice and steady, picking up the transporter and then getting the car.
Spare wheel, battery, seats, fuel syphoned out into jerry cans, and anything else heavy can be loaded into said comfortable 1.9TD estate to ensure you're under the 3.5T limit, then trundle home.
This is assuming they allow returning the transporter to another depot, otherwise it's just go up in convoy

They have a depot in Northampton....

Xac, we must have a natter...

I think a plan of going up in Cassy and doing the transporter one way may be FTW..

Would you be up for it? Seriously?

That could be a very handy company to know, think ill save that website

That'll be a good day Jim, driving a car transporter back from Scotland with your very own V6 XM aboard

Reckon she's any relation to Emma Watson?

If so, count me in

Emma Watson looks a bit too boyish at the moment

I'm sure she likes a pint or two, and eats pickled eggs.

I can assure you she bears no resemblance whatever to Robert Smart...
