Anyone Near Worcester?

[phil_lihp]

I've bought a car which is in Worcester and only now does the seller tell me it needs to be gone by Tuesday 6th September as he's away on holiday for 2 weeks after that, unfortunately as I'm on call all weekend I can't go and get it then (yes, I know, I should have asked first!).  I'm getting some Shiply quotes but anyone nearby who could stash it for a week?  It's only a Puma so doesn't take up much room, has MOT and will be taxed and insured.  I know it's a bit cheeky but thought I'd ask just in case.

Lord Sterling will be your bod for this job.

 

He's not the hero we deserve, but the one we need.

Ooh, it's in Kempsey - I don't know the area but I have his full address and postcode which I can PM, he's obviously a part-time trader as it's a unit on an industrial estate.

I'm toying with buying that Hiace in North Tawton ...

 

and Kempsey is south of Worcester by about four miles.

Thank you, my cup overfloweth with offers!  Wasn't sure I would get any, this place is almost exactly more or less not what it always used to not be.

Indeed?  I think something could be arranged.  I am free the following weekend (10th September).  Got a link?  North Tawton is only a few miles away.

[phil_lihp]

Ah, got it.

I insist that you buy it, I love these sorts of vans and it's brown.

I love the Hiace too (had two of the earlier models) - not quite what I'm after but more me than a Transit! Am sleeping on it overnight and will do a cheeky offer tomorrow, I think. Am fully comp any vehicle not belonging to me so no problems collecting and a Puma for a week would be fun! Can store on drive or on one of our rather quiet streets.

[phil_lihp]

I think I can smell a plan coming together...PM incoming.

Im 20 mins from Worcester. Can stash it in the local pub car park next to my voyager for a couple of weeks if required.

Looks like we have a solution, thanks to everyone who offered, I'm slightly staggered by the amount of people who volunteered to help!

[red5]

Well, either way let me know. As i said, work in Worcester, about 3 ish miles from Kempsey. Probably one of my students cars...

Yeah, soz, a bit late to the party, blame Essex and the traffic coming out from there.

 

If all fails the I can stash it here for a bit. If I can swing it with work, I may even be able to deliver to yours.

[phil_lihp]

Kind offer chap, thanks.  However, messerschmitt owner has kindly stepped into the breach and it looks like collection is probably going to happen on Friday AM, all very efficient.

[messerschmitt owner]

having seen the pics, it looks not bad! I've always wanted to drive a Puma so will enjoy the trip back home.
