Solihull to SW Scotland

mininuts · 15th May 2017, 20:55

Probably a bit of a long shot but, seen an MGF bonnet on eBay that's in Solihull and, if I bid and win it, need it bringing up north to somewhere nearer to me. Dumfries or even closer would be great but could travel to Gretna to meet somebody to save them going too far off M6. No rush for this so could even collect from Gretna meet in July if the collectee could hold on to it until then.
Problem is, it'd need someone with a tourer or van even. An MGF bonnet measures approx 53" x 43" and would fit in a tourer at an angle.

Quite a lot to ask, I know, but always worth an ask

Many thanks.

Shame this could not be taken to East Midlands Airport or nearby M1 on Sunday (21st May) ... I could get it back to Newcastle upon Tyne

Thank you all so much for these kind offers

Unfortunately the auction ended on the 18th and I didn't bid on it just in case I couldn't get it collected. It got one bid so it won't be relisted.
The search continues.
Again, thank you folks...................what great members this club has!

No probs at all Paul.. the offer is still there...

If you see anything smaller, I can always bring it up with me, as I'm just in Uttoxeter, and get back to D&G once every 4-6 weeks. Unfortunately, I only have a saloon these days!
