Classic car recovery: questions and answers
Can a restoration project be transported?
Explain missing panels, loose components and whether it rolls and steers. Separate parts may need a separate arrangement.
Should the engine run for collection?
Tell the operator its condition. Loading should not rely on starting a vehicle that is unsafe or unready to run.
What affects the quotation for classic car recovery?
