Transport costs for Land Rover

[bronzie66610]

Have 3 LR's i would like to obtain, the problem is transport. Any ideas of cost from Maryborough to South Gippsland ?

Hmmmm........
I wonder which one's they are?

Stab in the dark, I think you'd be looking at around $1500 each from http://www.doortodoorcars.com.au/.
Give them a call or send them an email.
You can get cheaper depot to depot but that requires quite a bit of organisation to get them to the depot and from the depot to you.

That's the trouble, isn't it? They might be good, and at an OK price, but once you stack transport costs on top it's a whole new ball game

Here's a thought.
Work out  a deal for storage. Maybe even another member on this forum in Queensland might want to buy one of them.
Swing by my place and pick up me and my trailer. Drive up and collect one of the Landies and drive back with a stop at Vixens for a cuppa.
Then do the same the next week for the other Landy.

Put the kettle on V.

ummmm..

I have storage, I also have transport.  But If I buy 3 Land Rovers I will be in court next week with the wife rubbing her hands.

Ones ok... If i have to pick one up I can do 2/3 and store in QLD until such time as required.....

What do you reckon David? Three days up. Three days back.
I'll go passenger/co-driver on the first trip.

[bronzie66610]

Sounds good. Wife just sprung me and said "DO WHATEVER" but can only get one for myself. Have Docs appointments friday 28th. and early next week also. Need to replace my rear diff too on 130 , easy to do. Will check EBAY and see if they are still there.

[juddy]

I can also go and check then out within 24hrs if required?

[bronzie66610]

They are still there. Where is your residence Mick ?  and when would it be likely this expedition might happen ?

[bronzie66610]

Thanks Juddy that would be a great help. better to get someone to check out how much rust is in it and if it has been mutilated with conversion and also if original 2.25 is there.

We have a few interested people here, but lets not jump the gun. They all could be very poor condition, and 1500 plus 2000/2500 transport could be very expensive.

However be they good or bad, the spares could be of value to some of us.

I can be there thursday lunch time to view, inspect, take pictures and report back for the same evening, its going to be a long day and a day out from working, but it could be beneficial.

Mick you have been good to me in the past so I am happy to give back to you....

Just don't want a bun fight at the end thats all....

[bronzie66610]

I do not want to get in a bun fight as it causes too many problems. If you can check them out it would be a help to many members. My wife said my 1968 Series 2A (non military) would have to go if i was able to acquire one vehicle (hopefully the 2A)

Hey. I only hope you accidentally load your workshop.
I'm going along for the ride. Don't want another Landrover.

David, I'm a little way west of Melbourne. I will need to get my trailer back from Brenno. I weighs 600kg and has a GVM of 2000kg.
I'll need to put in for a weeks leave.

Let's see what they're like and then plan the trip.

[bronzie66610]

I gathered that, would enjoy some company, don't use your rec. leave just to be a co pilot. Will wait for SITREP. While i was scratching through photo album I put a pic of Gunbuggy on RCL page.
