Default anyone with a tow truck or trailer in london/essex area who could help me?

my problem is as many know i broke my escort up recently and its now down to a rolling shell-minus all brakes and before i can start rebuilding it i need to get it back to my house which is about a mile away from the car in chingford. problem number 2 is that the s1 roll bar fitted doesnt have a towing eye fitted . I was wondering if anyone has a spare towing ey locally i could buy or borrow to help me get my car home on a tow pole or if someone has a truck locally who would just lift it for a quick drink? any help would be greatfully appreciated guys, cheers

if you have a trailer, just winch the car up using the front panels

seeing as it's so light it hsould be easy enough

My mate got his fiesta collected by a fella from essex. He only charges you for the 'loaded' journey. He paid £65 to have the car moved from Brighton to Dartford
£1 PER MILE (loaded journey only)

Gary Collins
07968 402223

According to my mate, the fella is based in Basildon
