The garage I have bought it from has said it needs a new clutch, I am guessing they don't really know the car and may just be covering their backs by quoting for a flywheel, they say it is driveable but I don't fancy risking it on such a long journey.

I was hoping to get it sorted before I travel over to pick it up, I live a distance away.

The only other option would be to get it trailered from Sevenoaks in Kent to Paignton in South devon.

I think I'll raise a post to see if any of our members in Kent know of a trustworthy garage or a reasonably priced trailer company who could transport it for me.

Many thanks for your advice.
