Got an NRMA inspection on a 91 SWB Patrol tomorrow thats located in Maroubra NSW.
I have a deposit on it pending the NRMA results.
Now I need to find a trucking company cheap enough to bring the damn thing up here. I got a rangie brought up for around $700 but it wasnt running at the time. This is running and with rego so I am expecting it to be abit less.
Anyone got any contacts or reccomendations
Cheers
Anthony

Road trip with a 2nd driver.
Easy if you can afford the time off or weekend.

Virgin Blue down for $50 and then drive it back. You can see it in person before handing over the reddies that way too.
Or bus it down for about same bucks.

I live around the corner from Maroubra (Bronte).
I can drive it up in a day and you can fly me back the next with V. Blue
Cover the fuel and a taxi from airport back to my place and no worries.
PM me if you are interested.

I'm getting a swb mq patrol transported from Sydney to gold coast this week for $330.
G.T. Auto freighters- (02) 6662 2191- Gary- seems like a decent bloke.
