transporting a vehicle - costs ?

Post by boomy »

Hi,

with my search for a 914 being fruitless, might consider an Alfa GT Junior ( :bom: ducks and waits...), but want to know how much it might cost to transport the car about 300 miles in the UK ?

Anyone had experience of this and have a ball park figure ? Cheers, Mark 8)

He has limited goods in transit insurance I think £30K
