A strange question.



I did something terrible: bought a 1955 Austin Champ. That is not so bad in itself, but there are a few problems next week.

First, the car is in Wisbech, Cambs (nr Peterborough).
I need to rent a trailer from Wisbech to Harwich next Wednesday afternoon / evening.
Then the poor Champ needs to find a parking space in or near Harwich for four days as it will be on the ferry Sunday night.

Is someone living in the area able to help me out? Where to rent a trailer, or where to park the car for a few days?

All tips or suggestions welcome!

Thanks
Dion

I will ask about a recovery firm that my neighbour used to lift a Spitfire back from cambridge a couple of weeks ago,
I believe the charge is 70 pence per mile.
I live in Tiptree essex, google earth it, 30 mile away, would that be to far away for parking?
How will you be collecting the vehicle.

Thanks Roger for your suggestion but the seller decided he could not part with the Champ and has cancelled the sale.
Oh well there will always be another somewhere.

OK Mate

The offer still stands if needed on another day

As to the Champ, done a good few miles in a champ with the rolls engine in the 60's.
Lovely sound to
