My beloved 944 Turbo looks likely to be in need of a full engine rebuild (or a transplant).

While I'm costing up the options, can anyone recommend trusted and cheap transporters to get it from Nottingham to Bournemouth? If it's going to get the full treatment it's going to JMG to be done properly...

I've just found this place online http://www.uship.com/
£169
Collection, Calverton, NG14 6QL
Delivery, Ferndown Industrial Estate, BH21 7RE
Est. Distance: 199 mi | 4 hours, 28 minutes

Thanks

:cry:

Yeah that company I found seems to be mostly aiming at people buying cars on Gumtree or eBay so they're marketing rock bottom prices. I'd rather have a personal / club member recommendation.

My brother has recommended these guys: http://www.sterlingmotortransport.co.uk/

Since you are using JMG for the rebuild have you obtained a quote from Jon as I believe he also does collection and delivery and offers a reduced rate depending on what work you are having done.
see his website on this
