Vehicle transportation.

Stepson has bought a Caterham. It's at Gatwick and he needs it to be near Edinburgh and hasn't the time to collect. What would be a reasonable price for him to expect to pay for it's (flatbed) delivery? 450 miles one way.

Hmmm, Gatwick's not far from me (I'm in Croydon)... I could drive to it Edinburgh for a nominal fee, if it's taxed and MOT'd and roadworthy! Does he need it in a hurry? If not, I'm due in Glasgow in mid-May, so could even split the cost.
I'm an IAM Certified Advanced Trainer and I train St John Ambulance drivers, if that's any reassurance. Plus I've driven a Caterham 7 before.

I'll drive it up there and get it there tomorrow. I have a National A Race licence!

Generally expect to pay about £1.50 per mile one way for a one off job.

£1 a mile is the going rate ouch. If he has personal membership of the AA or RAC it could always conveniently break down and need trailering home

I'll pass all that on. Thank-you

Stick a first class stamp on it - I'm sure they are under 100 grammes
