Anyone reccomend a shipper/car transporter that could also cover covered ground transport for my Coupe to the US? Plus 1 motorcycle!

Car is being permanently exported with me and the family when we move in 4-8 weeks time to Denver Colorado :greet:. Given its value dont want some cheapo ground transport company etc

Any suggestions?
Cheers
Dave

Give Kingstown a shout. I don't know if they swing both ways as it were but never heard anything bad about them.

Also Russ Pepper may know who shipped Richards cars to NJ when he moved out.

Dave, do you mean covered transport in the UK from your house to the shippers?
If so do not look anywhere else other than Leigh Ashworth at www.auto-haul.co.uk (http://www.auto-haul.co.uk)
He brought my car up to Edinburgh from Felixstowe and the service was beyond 1st class. Your 33 and motorcycle will easily fit in his covered trailer.
I think he might have a contact in the US too for the journey to your new home.
You can get him 24/7 on 07776 308896
Tell him Mark from Edinburgh with the hemi hotrod sent ya!

For the covered transport you'll want Reliable, I think they advertise in the GGuys mag. They do cars in covered semi trucks. Their cray lineup of them at the Pebble Beach Concourse (i saw about 40, each with manybe 6 cars in ) should give you some assurance as to their credemtials. Probably reassuringly expensive too, which is probably what you want!

Thanks sounds good - yeah given its insured value and current conversion rate its pretty close to the low end of Pebble Beach cars.... Gulp - want to make sure it stays that way when we arrive LOL
