Hi guys and gals,

I need to move my 1991 E30 90 miles from its current location in Bristol to my house in Hampshire but it has a seized engine so driving it is not an option. Anyone know of any reputable car transportation companies in the South of England that I could contact for quotes?

Thanks!

Shiply is quite good for finding good bang for buck and has reviews/ratings per driver

My brother would probably do this with his trailer, think he charges ~£1.50 per loaded mile. Where abouts in Hampshire is it going? He is in Portsmouth

Have you tried these guys, drive it yourself. I've used them before I got my trailer and for anything too big. Machines aren't pretty but get the job done.

Thanks for the feedback and assistance everyone, I used Shiply in the end to find a well reviewed driver at what I think was an alright price :)
