My father in law died not long ago, he lived in Swansea during the week where he worked and came home on weekends.
His car (Toyota Celica) is still in Swansea and doesnt run properly and we need to get it back to Milton keynes.
I still dont have a tow car as Im still waiting for the insurance and my trailer wont fit a Celica anyway.

Any ideas?

Paul

I seriously doubt it!

Tried both of them, they wont help.
His own RAC went void when he was pronounced dead and my AA wont do recovery, they will fix it or tow it to a garage.
Both wankers

There was dude that advertised on TMF to go collect Minis from anywhere - looked like he had a flat bed transporter truck. Couldn't find his name tho. :/

My Dad does this for a living, you can call him up and ask him for a price if you like, he is based near Redditch just south of Birmingham so something like mid way. I've no idea what he would charge though. PM me if you want his number.

That was the first thought, no mot or tax though, he needed to fix it for mot.
TBH its not a lot of cop and possibly not worth it but she wants it back here.

As an alternative, might it be easier to put it on ebay as is, with buyer to collect.

As a side note, if you could find a tow car I can bring my A frame down to the RR day for you to borrow.

Still pending at the moment - theres a dispute on liability plus Im not happy with the £800 offer Ive been given when I found one 2 years older for £1800

New cars an estate, should be OK
