Question: Dear Chris, you kindly quoted me some time ago to transport a Porsche Boxster to Provence in France. I'm sorry that I didn't respond but everything changed. I eventually purchased a Boxster from a dealer in Exeter, and this now needs transporting to Manosque, department 04 in Provence. Would you still be able to do this job, and for how much? One of the reasons I have not decided on a transporter yet, is trust. I want to know that whoever picks the car up is genuine and 100% reliable. All the best, Simon - (03-09-2019)

Response: Hello Simon, thank you for your message and remembering me.
I would love to deliver your car for you. I have owned and operated a garage in Gunnislake, Cornwall since 1984. We service, repair, sell and transport all vehicles. I specialise in classic, vintage and high end vehicle transport. I have the correct insurance in place and will take great care of your car.
I live not far from Exeter so collection is easy me.
Your car will be transported on an excellent Ifor Williams behind a nearly new Kia Sorento. I will match any reasonable quote. Pretty much £995 plus site fee.
Please send me a couple of spare messages as the only way I can contact you is by answering your messages.
Many thanks Chris - (03-09-2019)

Question: Hello again Chris and thanks for your quick response! The numerous quotes I've had vary from £950 to yours at circa £1,300+ with the average being around £1,150. What would be your best offer? If we agree on a price, how do I pay? Can I pay by direct bank transfer from my British bank account? What does the insurance cover (the car cost just under eight grand), and do you handle all the customs paperwork? The Porsche has lowered suspension and low profile tyres so there is limited ground clearance.

The pick up date is not set yet but is hopefully going to be within the next fortnight; I'm waiting for a garage space to become available here in Manosque and I'm seeing the owner this coming Saturday. Cheers, Simon - (03-09-2019)

Response: Sorry Simon, missed a couple of details, you pay the deposit to the site and the balance direct to me, bank transfer would be fine and my preferred choice.
Thanks again Chris - (03-09-2019)

Question: Dear Chris, many thanks for your quick response! The numerous quotes I've had range from £950 to your original offer of circa £1,300+. The average quote has been around the £1,150 mark, all fees included. What would be your best offer? If we agree on a price who do I pay, and can I pay by direct bank transfer from my British bank account? Does the price include full insurance? The Porsche cost me just under £8,000. The car has lowered suspension and low profile tyres so ground clearance is limited. The pick up date will hopefully be within the next fortnight; I am waiting for a garage space in Manosque for the car and I see the garage owner this coming Saturday.

Question: Chris, sorry about the two similar messages! The website owners told me that they'd edited my first message because it had my email address in it; I thought they'd deleted the whole message and so I wrote again! - (03-09-2019)
