That's a bit crazy (not you Bailes) but that means you could drive a potential hazard all the way across the country because it was 'booked in' somewhere.

Dodgy, very dodgy! Don't want to sound all doom and gloom mate but I wouldn't risk that.

Did you see the Silver ST on ebay that's actually IN Bridgend?

Also potentially dodgy, but you could go there, buy the car, and phone the AA / RAC and say you've broken down and need transporting to your local garage?

I'd use a car transport company, see if you can get a quote to get the car moved on a flatbed. There are plenty of them around, so lots of competition.

Sorry I think I've made a mistake, there's a silver one in 'Basingstoke' and somehow I read that as Bridgend, carry on..... :oops:
