Help needed !!!

Hi

I've just found your site while having a mad search around the internet.

I've just taken on the restoration of a 1981 Volvo B58 Supreme IV ok some of you will probably say im mad but she has been in the family from new and was onwed and run by my parents, she has been in retirment since 1998 and shall we say will need quite a bit of work to get her moving again.

The problem is we have just been given 7 days notice to move her from current location.

Can any one help me with storage in either yorkshire or leicestershire that wont make my bank account turn a funny colour lol and give me some names of towing companys please i really need help ASAP she has to be moved by Wednesday 6/10.

Thank you in advance.

Try Chapel End Coaches in Nuneaton they may have space for a short term, and they can only say no

Same company might have an arrangement for recovering disabled coaches - or they might be able to refer you on to someone.

Hi Guys,
Quick update, she is now moved to a secure yard closer to us, she was moved by Melton Recoveries from Melton Mowbray - great guys, took good care of her, even taping down the loose trim so we didnt lose any on the motorway! Now we need to start finding out how bad she is and how we can restore her - the underside is good as the runners were done not so long back, its mainly body panels and the fixings behind! Can anyone offer any advise, please?

Storage

A long shot mate but there is an advert in "Heritage Commercials" for secure covered storage in Uttoxeter.

I know it could be a bit of a drag from Leics. but might get you out of a spot even if only for the short term.
