Title: Operation get a grill from Altrincham to Newbury!
Post by: RandomJord on 04 March 2012, 22:43
Right, I've found a perfect grill for my MK2 But the sellers reluctant to post.

Unfortunately as the title suggests its in Altrincham (Cheshire) and I'm in Newbury (Berkshire)

So here's the thing.... Anyone going to be travelling that way or can a chain be made to get it down here? Or does Doc have any vans heading south soon??

I have a mate who lives near Eccles who could grab it, and then I have another mate who lives in Reading.  I'll let you know how I get on!

I live in Timperley, next to Altrincham and my parents , who live in Thatcham, should be coming up in two weeks.

So if your able to wait for a couple of weeks, could get it down to you that way

That would be awesome! I'll PM Doc see if he minds it kicking about at his workshop for a couple of weeks.

I may have to go up to Scotland for parts for my car.

I'm thinking of advertising the trip on some forums and see if anyone else has some bits that need picking up for a fee toward the journey to see if I can make it a free trip.

It will be Saturday if it happens. I can get it if you like, if I can get enough interest.

So between where you live, and Scotland, there are no other cars being dismantled!
