Default Shell Delivery

Does anyone know of any companies that will collect a bare shell (non rolling) from Sussex and deliver it to Essex undamaged for a reasonable amount of cash?

Thanks for your help.

There's bound to be a company that will do it but as its large (car shell) its probably gonna cost a bit,

best way imo is scouting for someone who has a flat bed 7.5/16 ton lorry and nogotiate a deal

anyone with a recovery truck could do it, buy a couple dolly's from machine mart and winch it up on those.

Wonder what the AA would say turning up to that... "It just wont start, will you take me home?"

IIRC they are about 60quid each for the dolly's, one front and one back, adjustable height.

Great for moving a car round workshop/garage etc when it's got no wheels.
