I have for sale a x4 Bowler Alloys in anthracite. They are fitted with 265 Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tyres which are legal, but may only have a couple of thousand miles left in them. Wheels are in great condition and run nice and true. I am after £1000 for them and they are located in Solihull.

After many years out of a defender, the time has come where I can afford to have one as a spare car. I am after a 110 as I now have a child so must have seats in the back! I'm not fussy about colours or anything like that but it must have a solid chassis, bulkhead etc. A few cosmetic issues...

Could you send me some pictures and more information please

Always on the lookout if anybody has anything........

I'm interested in anything as long as the price is right!

Ended up having it delivered via Shiply. For a 167 mile trip I was only charged £153 which I was more than impressed with!! It would of cost me more to hire a truck and do it myself! Thanks for the offer of help though!

Most of the guys on there offer a payment upon delivery, which would give me a bit of security. Its only a £500 donor car I want the engine from so not arsed if it gets damaged.

The last recovery guy I used only charged me £80 for a delivery from central London. Just so happened he had a delivery right near where I needed the collection so it was 100% profit for him. Was hoping to find something along those lines!

Really?! What a w*nker! Is there no cover with Shiply when things like this happen?

Price started off at £305, now down to £242. Hopefully it keeps falling!!

Thanks I'll give that a go.

My last company would, but not this one for some unknown reason! Yeah a pound a mile seems the norm and its 165 miles each way. At that price its far cheaper for me to hire a transporter for £98 plus fuel.

I drive a company car so unable to fit a tow bar and my 90 is off the road. If nobody can do it for the right money I'll have to hire a transporter but dont really have the time.

As per title really. I have brought a car (old BMW 325i) that I need collecting from Brighton and delivered to Birmingham one day next week. Anybody have any ideas?

This is a 200tdi engine removed from a Defender 130 with 124k on the clock. The car had service history and was well looked after. I brought the rotten 130 for the engine as I knew it was a good one. Excellent runner and pulls as a 200 should. Comes with turbo, alternator, fuel pump etc...
