Can anybody please suggest a suitable secure covered car transport service to bring a K sized car from Essex to Silverstone and return? TIA

Hmmm! Total radio silence it seems!
This is now getting urgent, because without acceptable transport we will be short of a K3 in our display marquee in a week's time. All suggestions or recommendations will be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance

You would have thought so, Colin, but no joy there I'm afraid!

it's not my part of the country Dick, so can't really recommend anyone. does google not come up with suggestions? (i found a hire vehicle with a towbar for someone down in Cornwall that way recently)

Thanks, Colin, I have several irons in the fire now, but any suggestions or recommendations will nevertheless be appreciated from the fraternity!

Throw a set of trade plates on it and drive it there and back, just like the good ol' days?

Good stuff chaps. The replies made me chuckle but only a little!
Can we try this another way around?
Do we have one or more members who are planning to come to Silverstone, perhaps in a modern but could offer to tow this car (a K3) to the event on a trailer for Friday afternoon and return it to Dunmow, Essex on Sunday after the close??
All options considered but as this is a valuable car, insurance might be an issue.... event tickets and fuel - no problem!
TIA

Thanks Mark. I have followed up with Tom and he has given me a good lead. Fingers crossed!
