I've managed to get a great car which has been sat for a long while so needs cambelt and MOT sharpish. I don't want to risk driving it until the cambelt has been changed so need some advice about who to call to have it collected and delivered to my local garage.

Plenty of people advertising car transport via trailer or recovery truck on ebay if you don't no any one with either of those options that will do it for some beer tokens (may be a lottery to how good/bad they are going to be)? You haven't said how far its got to be moved. If its local to you maybe your garage could collect for you.

The AA etc do offer a transport service for cars if you wanted all the whistles & bells know what your getting type of cover all be it more expensive than others. I wouldn't have thought they would move it under normal breakdown/recovery cover without an MOT?

They do quotes here http://www.theaa.com/move-my-car/submitMoveMyCarAction.do
