Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Shipper: I’m interested in transporting your 1961 Bentley S2. Is the Bentley operational so it can be driven onto the trailer with ramps? I’m making a delivery to Virginia 29 April and will be in Lexington Park over that weekend. I could pick up your 1961 Bentley S2 on Monday or Tuesday (May 1 or 2) and deliver within 3 days. More likely I would deliver in 2 days or less. I’m a licensed motor carrier with DOT authority (DOT#1473552 / MC#556329) and all required insurance. You can verify my authorization and insurance at http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx. Your vehicle would be securely transported on an open 25’ gooseneck trailer. My price would be $825 all inclusive of uShip fees and up to $50,000 cargo insurance. Please review my profile and should you be interested respond via uShip. Thank you / Don (4/12/2006)
Response: I will not be in Middleburg until the 9 of May. I am very interested in your offer though. What if the car was shipped to a Georgia address. The zip code is 30039,Snellville is the city. I am moving from Maryland to Florida and I have family in Snellville that could store the car. The car is driveable and could be driven up the ramps on to the trailer.I also have another car a 1971 TR6 that I would like to ship too and you do both cars? (4/12/2006)
Question: can pick up friday and deliver shortly after. 850 door to door in fully enclosed trailer. thanks (4/12/2006)
Response: can you ship a 1971 TR6 also in your trailer at the same time? (4/12/2006)
Question: i could take 2 tr6's but not a bentley and a tr6. i am leaving in the am. can do one or the other for you. only need about 650-700 for the tr6 since it's small. i took another down to naples recently. let me know. thanks (4/13/2006)
Question: Shipper: Do you happen to have the length and weight of each, the Bentley and the TR6? I doubt it but I might be able to do both at once. Where do you want the TR to go? Either way, I’m interested in delivering both cars. In answer to your question, I can transport the Bentley to Snellville GA for $675 if I pick up May 1-3. Incidentally, I just moved from Lexington Park (Esperanza Farms) and my neighbor had a TR6 in his driveway for a couple of years. I take shipments there because my daughter still lives in St. Marys County and I get to see her. Anyway, just let me know what you want to do and when. I’ll certainly try to work with you on timeframe and cost. Thank you for your consideration / Don (4/13/2006)
Response: Don, I do not know the dimensions on the TR6. I have been trying to find the dimensions online. As you know the car is small,but I will continue to look for the total dimensions of both cars for you. I will want to deliver both cars to the same destination in Snellville. Your available time fram is perfect for me and I would like to work with you. Thanks again. I will work on the car sizes and get back to you as quick as possible (4/13/2006)
Question: I found some numbers. I can’t pass the web site to you because uShip will red flag us. I searched under1961 Bentley & TR6 specifications on Altavista . It looks like the TR6 is about 2400 lbs and between 156” to 163” long with a wheel base of 88”. What I found on the Bentley S2 was 211” long. The Bentley is obviously a heavy car also. I believe the total loaded weight would be approximately 8350 lbs so the weight wouldn’t be an issue. However the combined length would eliminate the possibility of hauling both together on my 25’ trailer. I just thought it was worth looking into. I’ll work with you on getting both cars to Georgia. Meanwhile I’ll see what if anything is available for shipping from Georgia to VA or MD. Should I be able to book a timely load I can reduce your costs. I’ll make a bid when I get to Maryland and after I’m there we can talk directly to devise the best and most economical plan. Thank you for the consideration and effort / Don (4/15/2006)
Response: Don, Place your bid for Snellville for me and I will accept it,so we can work out the details. Wayne (4/15/2006)

Question: i will be going north tomorrow . what price did you have in mind to haul both cars back (4/18/2006)
Response: I apologize for the dela in this response. I just returned from Jax. I have no set price for shipping both cars. I can ship one of the cars myself,but the Bentley I do not have the capability to move with my truck. I will consider any offer you provide for shipping both cars but the actual interest is the one car. Thanks (4/18/2006)
Question: I can pick the vehicle up immediatly and transport on my single car trailer for a rate of $875. If this is acceptable, please let me know and I will submit bid. Thanks, Travis (4/20/2006)
Response: Sorry for the delay in this repsonse. I just returned from Jacksonville this morning. I will not be in Jacksonville until the first week of May so I will not have anywhere to put the car. So I am not interested in moving the car immediateley. About the fifth of May would be my earliest delivery date. (4/20/2006)

Question: I have not forgotten about your Bentley. I should be in Lexington Park sometime Saturday night or Sunday (4/29 - 4/30). I'll make a bid at that time and we can talk directly. Thank you / Don (4/24/2006)
Question: Wayne..I'll make the bid for $675 to Snellville but I would like it contingent that we will mutually withdraw if there is any issues. One may be that my cargo insurance is a maximum of $50,000. Also please understand that the cargo insurance would not cover damage such as hail or other weather or nature related causes. I would like to look at the Bentley to make certain there is adequate clearance for loading on the ramps. When I make the bid the contact phone will be my home phone and I'm presently in California MD accessible only on my cell. I'm looking forward to talking with you and working out the details. Thanks // Don (4/29/2006)
