450 sounds about right to me, I had to transport my car from Edinburgh to Norfolk a couple of years ago and that was about 450.

A mate used "ALP Transport" from near Turriff to bring up something of his from down south, they seem to be forever going through Aberdeen with artic transporters full of cars.

I used Aberdeen Trailers to get my Lotus up from Sussex. If they've got a truck going down anyway you may get a good deal

Aberdeen Trailers
Crichney Lade Croft, Fyvie, Turriff, Aberdeenshire AB53 8QY
Tel: 01651 891538

Or you could give Norman a ring at C.A.R.S.

Good Luck

I too used Aberdeen Trailers to get a car from the south coast to Aberdeen, around £300 if I remember right, that was a couple of years ago though.

They did a good job but I had to wait until they had a truck around the right area, a bit over a week I think it was.

Perth car transport get some of our cars to London from Livingston for £150 + VAT. Ask for Alan on 07974 360 673. They are very good.

A friend of mine owns www.pvl.org.uk he's Midlands based but runs to Scotland, if it's not a time dependant delivery you may get a deal on a return run. There's a quotation form on his website.

Try Spadge Hopkins at Cottage Classics (www.cottageclassics.co.uk/) - if he is delivering anything in cotland, he might be able to take the S2000 back on the return trip?

I saw the car sitting on the top deck of the transporter this weekend. You'll be glad it wasn't raining as the window was left open
