Motorcycle transport UK to Spain
Motorcycle transport UK to Spain

Can anyone recommend a carrier to move a (large) motorcycle and approx 2 cubic metres of personal effects/tools/household items from south London to Quesada? It's early days yet as I've not yet bought a house, but have had an offer accepted.

About 18 months ago, we used Coles & Sons, based in Banbury, Oxfordshire. They brought across my Yamaha XV1700 cruiser from Camberley, Surrey, to Formentera del Segura. Their usual charge is £500, but because it was part of a full house move, they discounted to £350. Two alternative quotes I got were £500 and £600 respectively. It's a family business and we found them to be very helpful and friendly, with good, efficient comms and nothing missing or damaged on arrival here. The office number is 01295 275074, or you can call Dan Coles on his mobile, 07900 892360. They also have a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ColesandSons/
On a related matter, are you planning to use your bike permanently over here, or just for holiday visits? If so, is it a UK spec? I bought my bike from new in the UK, but it was a US import with an extra letter on the registration document, so having paid to get it across to Spain, I couldn't re-register it and ended up selling it! May not be relevant to you, but thought I'd flag it up just in case.

Thanks Paul, I was expecting around £500 and that's about average from shipley.com
I'd like to find someone who is familiar with and equipped for transporting bikes rather than a general remover- it's way too heavy for manhandling.
It's a UK spec Triumph, and I'm planning to re-matriculate it onto Spanish plates as it's a permanent full time move.

Maybe see how much it would be from Silverdale?
They get a lot of recommendations on here...

Yes, we used Silverdale for our move. We are awaiting our second delivery in the new year. They seem to do at least one trip a month.

Thanks all, I will give Silverdale a try. We will need to confirm the completion date first for the house purchase.
