[Jimblob]

Hi, does anyone know someone who can do affordable car transportation from the Netherlands to the UK?

There’s no such thing as cheap from abroad. The ferry and fuel will be a huge cost to start with. Good luck though.

You could always try @Wingz123..

What do you consider to be cheap? Where to where exactly and possible to drive it?

[Jimblob]

Thanks. Well I'm looking at a Citroen in the NL and trying to gauge cost to get it over, I have no benchmark except one quote for 800 euros does that sound high?
If I had the time I'd go over in my Bongo and A frame it back.

You know I have a thing for Visas so if it drives I will take you over for you drive it back or if its not a runner I can tow with my Range Rover, we just need to beg steal or borrow a trailer.

I could lend you a trailer Chris but I’m 150 miles in the wrong direction.

They’re only about £60 a weekend to rent, mind (or were), which is the petrol cost to fetch/deliver mine to you.

That's very kind Chris. I'm still pondering the options but time is my main constraint, I have a Mazda bongo and an A frame so I could probably go and get it myself (illegal I know)

You are thinking about saving on the 850€ by using a vehicle  and trailer? ?

Ensure you export the car from NL correctly.

Have you contacted any transport services  in The Netherlands?

In amongst this list you can find some.

Write in English. Maybe get a cheap flight and travel with the car back to the UK

I don't know if this one is very cheap. He was a TV presenter and now runs a YT channel about his car transporting business. I feel his lorry is too large for your needs. But I would think he is some one to trust. his email is the about section.

Double check with the ferry company first that they are ok with it being on an A frame. They can have some bloody funny rules as I have found out in the past. Our old VW bus died near the ferry terminal and we had a right game getting it on, they refused to allow it to be towed on with rope or A framed on. In the end we managed to get it running enough to get it on and off thankfully.

Not possible to drive it...get it roadworthy? You may be able to insure in UK using the VIN. 

Yes as as has been stated be very careful what the ferry company will allow - not an A-frame.

 

[Remspoor]

A frames are they legal in the countries you wish to cross?

It is difficult in the UK

I feel it is impossible in all or most EU countries. Search and a lot of questions about this subject come up in motorhome forums.

Given up on the idea now but thanks for replies

Ps. If anyone ever needs to borrow a really solid A frame in Cambridge just shout

I A frame back/ forth regularly. I’ve only once had an issue, at the French end of the tunnel - but they soon amended their view after a rapid maneuvering demonstration around the car park!

I’ve had no issues since - although I won’t A frame across Germany ( unless it’s dark/ fast!)

This one is drivable

Small amount of damage to seat.

Last seller drove car to ferry port at Amsterdam  and it was stuck on the ferry so all I had to Do was pick it up from Newcastle on the trailer,  piece of pish.
