Hi all,Not been on here in donkey’s years. Long story short, I emigrated to the US years ago. I bought a fire engine down in Cardiff and need to get it shifted to Glasgow as soon as possible. I’m donating it to a good cause over here in the US.
I’ll be flying to the UK early February, but it has to be shifted before then.
Does anyone have suggestions for storage in Cardiff until I can get over to the UK to make better arrangements?
I would happily drive it up the road if I still have my Class 1 (trying to find out) but insurance may be tricky to find.
Any suggestions on the above, or where to find a backload company to maybe get it up the road would be appreciated.
Is it road registered? Tested? Tax and insurance get intertwined. Trade plates aren`t magic, but might be useful here.
If it turns out it does need transporting up on a trailer, how big is it?“Fire Engine” could be a LandRover to an airport tender over 60 tons and 3.0metres wide.
Good questions, it still has a plate on it, and came straight out of service recently. Untaxed (its a fire engine), has an MOT and I can arrange insurance for it.
It’s a regular Volvo fire appliance, nothing unusual size wise.
