Thread: Ideas on how to get a rolling shell from Perth to Sydney?

Train??? Maybe?

My disco didn't run when i got it down here on a truck!!

TIM.

If you can wait until May/ June next year, I can bring it back on a car trailer?
It's difficult, all transport companies want the vehicle mobile

what vehicle is it?

Get it carried as general freight. It will have to be tilt tray to a transport depot then they load it onto a regular trailer. Sometimes direct from the tilt tray sometimes they have to lift it with a fork lift.

Unless it's something very special or rare, it will cost more than you could buy one here.

Have it freighted over inside a container

There is stuff all freight coming back from the west so a lot of trucks come out empty to whyalla (sa) and get a load of steel
This is about the best bet general freight , as long as it can be lifted with a forklift

It's a very early 1949 Morris Minor, around the 7th or 8th oldest known in Australia.
It's a long story but I've spent the last 19 years looking for a good shell so I can re-body my 1948 Morris Minor after it was written off (and then repaired, badly). I collected the oldest known Australian MM from Adelaide a couple of years ago, hoping to use it but it's in very bad shape.

I realise they all look the same but there are small structural & cosmetic differences between the very early cars & all the later ones.


I realise it could cost me up to a couple of grand to get it to Sydney but that's probably less than the fuel bill for a V8 RR to get there & back .


Thanks for the tips on transport. I'll be making a few phone calls on Monday .

Hmm, so if I fly over, buy the D3, I could almost buy a car trailer with your $2k transport costs to tow this back for you......
