Where's it going from - to ?

Picked my Series One up using some dollies I got from Machine Mart. Strapped it down with some ratchet straps for the 250 mile trip home.

Karl. If you want I have a low trailer.

You drive past my house to go to Dundee. You can borrow my trailer and my dollies if you like.

If it wasn't as far as Dundee I'd of come n helped. Let me know but offers there.
