Morning all, I'm looking to move my GT6 to a local garage but am struggling to find a company with any get up and go about them. I.e. Who will answer the phone, return phone calls, do what they say they will... basically who has any idea how to run a business! :-/
Does anybody out there know of a Liverpool based or at least North West based firm who has experience moving low-slung classics? Most companies I've seen don't have the right kind of truck and treat cars shockingly.
I'm only looking to move it about 5 miles but can't start the car and am not prepared to have it towed behind another vehicle.
Many thanks in advance!
Ian.

I feared as much... really regretting leaving it for so long now. Not keeping it moving/running too. Life just got in the way unfortunately!

Tyres are definitely shot - plenty of air in them but will definitely be getting replaced.
All brake/clutch hydraulics for a start....
Do you reckon it's likely to need the various hydraulic cylinders replacing? No problem if so - I've had this car for 13 years now so want to make sure it's all done properly! Better to be safe than sorry...

Hi everyone, it's been about 7 years since I've been a member and about the same time since I've been able to drive my car. I've got a pretty mint 1972 GT6 mk3 with a 2.5 (non fuel injected). Unfortunately, however, moving house and job so often has meant that it hasn't run or moved for that time. For my sins it's not even been rolled forward/backwards etc.
It's been a long time since I've properly thought about the car and am now looking to get it back on the road.
I'd be really grateful if anybody out there could advise the most likely parts that will almost certainly need replacing to get it back on the road? Other than tyres, rubber hoses and water pump, that is :-)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've seen how accident repair firms drive cars onto ramps at warp speed too many times - to my own cost, hence why I'm keen on finding a specialist firm :-) Three times I've had cars damaged by firms like that... believe me they'd be my first choice cost-wise but I've been too badly burnt in the past!
As for a car trailer unfortunately I don't have a tow bar, a licence that will allow me to tow a vehicle or know anyone with one etc... no luck there. Good suggestion though!
