Re: So I bought some Leos...
Try http://www.shiply.com/ as couriers/transport companys bid the best price from and to a specific location.
I'm not 100% sure it's still definitely there, but for anyone really interested I'm sure I can check.

Re: So I bought some Leos...

If it could move for 100, and be taken for 100, Id have it. think thats asking a bit much though.
I'll measure the yard anyway. See if itll fit and leave room to get donstairs bins out.

Re: So I bought some Leos...
It wants to be indoors really.
I'd like to see something useful come of the car, so I'm more in favour of a trip to Newc'astle than I am a part-out (plus it's less effort!). If you'd let me cannibalise a few bits and bobs for my 85 car (things which can be obtained in due course...and it's going nowhere soon), I'm sure we can come to an arrangement, cost-wise. We'll have a chin-wag after the weekend

Re: So I bought some Leos...
Yeah...sorry...my post was a bit confused. John has mumbled about having my 83 car...but I think he's probably thinking twice now he's seen the Rugby one! A matching pair oop north (in the same unit!) would be epic.
The round trip is approximately 425 miles. That puts the fuel alone at around £120-130 (unless I'm rocking the LPG by then), plus trailer hire. I can probably split that with other jobs, but it's still going to be £150 or so.

Re: So I bought some Leos...
Well, we'll get our heads together then and see what can be done.
SteveP - have you got a phone number for the lad with the Rugby car mate?

A Sporting event is a sporting event.
So anyway steve.
This Wrestlemania 26 car, have you got a contact to see if its still there/in one piece?
Re: So I bought some Leos...
I'll dig through my emails and find out whether I still have the contact details for the Rugby car. If I can't and you're seriously interested I can make a trip out (I remember where it is) as I'm often near Coventry anyway.
