Can anyone recommend a good vehicle moving company as I have purchased a car in Southampton and need to get it back to Derby?

Well, I do live 6 miles from Derby, and I do have the right kit, and even though I don't do it commercially any more, I have helped friends...

Is it a Minor that you are looking to transport to Derby?

I've used a company called movemymotor from there (based in Aldershot) and found the chap to be very efficient and friendly.

Go down by train - and drive it home ! Remember to take your recovery membership details with you. Just get 100 yds along the road - and 'breakdown' ! They will take you home.

Only a 560 mile round journey, so not too bad for a day trip!
