Car Trailer Or Transport Truck?

[kx2fity]

Having a bit of a dilemma trying to decide and organise transport of my 32 GTR.

As some of you may be aware my car has just had a major restore job done on it over the last year which included replacing panels, mouldings, pans kit etc and now has a fresh coat of paint.

I need to get the car back to Albany (the car is complied but unregistered) so have organised to get the car put on a 'Car transport Truck', but am now thinking the car is to low to get on to truck without scratching up the front lip?

I am aware I could take of the front bar but then I would have to organise transport of that also!

Idea of how low it is about 2.5 inches to ground

The car is also not starting at the moment (fueling issue) so therefore cant get temporary movement permit and drive it!

Was thinking I mite get a car trailer and tow it down myself? Has anyone had success using a car trailer and not removing front bumper etc?

I am Just really after some peoples opinions?

Thanks in advance,

Dan

Spewin' you can't drive it, I went to Albany a few weeks ago for a paintball training camp - drove the 'line there and it was reasonably fun

your insurance won't cover a car if it is damaged on a car trailer

Yeh true mate but I dont see any other way! I also have the problem of working away and not being there if we were to load it up on a car carrier!

i use CEVA to transport my cars. they have afuuly enclosed truck with a lift on it so high is no problem. Will cost a little more than a tow car with trailer but for piece of mind its good.

Thanks for your input guys!

I have checked out CEVA am just waiting for a reply quote!

I think your correct GWP021 when you tow another vehicle the cover on the vehicle you are driving 'if full cover" usually covers it!

I managed to get the oldman to let me borrow his BT-50 so if need be I am going to tow it down now- just need to hire a good car trailer!
