Urgent Shite-y Car Collection Needed in Wales

[Schaefft]

So I've been talking to the guy who is selling the Phase 1 V6 Safrane below that was posted in the Ebay thread a few days ago. I'm generally interested in buying the car, but he just messaged me that his mate wants the car removed from his yard TODAY (maybe he's just pissed off about his buddy turning the place into a scrapyard?).

 

 

Is there anyone in the Carew area (Wales) who would be able to collect it for me? The car is driveable and it's still got MOT, the problem is that the cooling fans are not turning on by themselves so the car would need to be driven carefully (and the engine turned off) once in a while to get anywhere. Be aware that the car would need to stay somewhere until I can get it up to Newcastle somehow. You see I haven't quite finished planning this yet.

I haven't got any help to offer, but I'll wish you good luck!

Thanks! It wouldn't be so urgent if this wasn't one of what must be a handful of V6 Safranes left in the country. I've been looking for one for a long time and this seems to be quite a rare chance to get a fairly clean one. I'm just not sure who here in the community would be coming from that corner of Wales, and who would be able to collect it.

How quickly can a shiply be arranged?

They can be quick in the week, usually begin to get quotes in about 15 minutes but I think the OP probably needs somewhere close to store it too or it would be expensive all the way to Newcastle.

Where in Wales is Carew? If it's near the border in the north I might be able to do it but time is a bit tight

There are a few autoshites down in the South West

[Schaefft]

Yeah, its pretty much as South-West in Wales as it can get. What worries me even more than not getting it is that it might get scrapped if its not gone in the next few days. That would be pretty shit really.

It's right on the bottom of the sticky out bit, about 7 miles from Tenby

 

Edit: it's only 4 1/2 hours from me, I'd totally go and get it for you but it's Game of Thrones night. (In other words, sorry I can't be of any use!)

That's very close to me. I may be able to help but am away on leave till next weekend (19th Aug). May be able to help with temporary storage.

 

Edit: Any idea what the postcode for the place is?

Thats the info I got from the seller:

 

It is next to Carew patio's and Airfield metals

 

Sa70 8SU is Carew patois postcode.

 

Which means it must be the yard right next to it

[Squirrel2]

OK, that is on the Carew Airfield, that is very close to me. I may be able to help with this but at the earliest next weekend.

 

 

Cheers,

Thanks Squirrel, that sounds great. I'll see if I can figure something out. I'll also send you a pm with more info.
