Germany to Sussex transport??

Post by Dougieboy1 »

am interested in buying an engine (VW 30hp to use as a spare in the Schwimmwagen) from a guy in Bavaria but have no idea how to get it back to the UK.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks

DPD are another option, you could try Sovereign Speed too.

thanks, have a quote of Euro300 which is way cheaper than me going to get it.
