Classic, prestige and cherished vehicles are often transported for reasons very different from everyday breakdown recovery.
You may have purchased a classic car hundreds of miles from home, need a prestige vehicle delivered to a specialist garage or want a cherished car moved between your home and storage.
Transporting the vehicle can also avoid adding unnecessary mileage when the purpose of the journey is simply to move the car from one location to another.
247 Road Assistance can assess individual vehicle transport requirements based on the vehicle, journey, condition and collection and delivery access.
For broader vehicle transportation, see our car towing and vehicle transport service.
Transport Requests May Include
- Classic cars
- Prestige vehicles
- Luxury cars
- Collectible vehicles
- Cherished cars
- Performance vehicles
- Restoration projects
- Specialist vehicles subject to assessment
Reasons to Arrange Classic or Prestige Car Transport
Professional vehicle transport can be useful for owners, collectors and buyers who need to move a cherished vehicle without driving it between locations.
New Vehicle Purchase
A newly purchased classic or prestige vehicle may be located a considerable distance from home and require collection from the seller.
Garage or Specialist Visit
Transport may be required when taking a cherished vehicle to a garage, specialist or workshop for servicing, diagnosis or repair.
Restoration Project
Classic vehicles undergoing restoration may need moving between an owner, storage location and specialist restoration workshop.
Vehicle Storage
Owners may need a cherished car moved into or out of long-term, seasonal or specialist vehicle storage.
Shows & Events
Transport may be considered when moving a suitable classic or cherished vehicle to or from a show, exhibition or automotive event.
Long-Distance Movement
Professional transport can be a practical option when the vehicle needs to move a considerable distance without adding unnecessary driving mileage.

Transport for Classic & Collectible Cars
Classic vehicles can have characteristics that differ considerably from modern everyday cars.
Age, modifications, wheel and tyre sizes, ground clearance and mechanical condition can all affect how a vehicle needs to be assessed before transportation.
A fully restored classic may require transport to a show or storage, while a restoration project may be non-running or partially dismantled.
Provide accurate information about the vehicle before collection so the transport requirements can be considered properly.
Tell Us About Your Classic
- Make and model
- Approximate year
- Vehicle condition
- Whether it starts and drives
- Whether it rolls and steers
- Ground clearance
- Known modifications
- Wheel and tyre condition
Transport for Prestige, Luxury & Cherished Vehicles
Owners of prestige and luxury vehicles may prefer professional transport when moving a car between locations rather than driving it for the sole purpose of relocation.
This can be relevant when purchasing a vehicle, arranging workshop visits, moving between storage locations or planning a longer-distance journey.
Every transport request is assessed individually. Vehicle dimensions, weight, ground clearance and other characteristics should be provided when requesting a quote.
Useful Vehicle Information
- Exact make and model
- Vehicle dimensions where relevant
- Approximate vehicle weight
- Ground clearance
- Suspension modifications
- Wheel and tyre specifications
- Vehicle condition
- Collection and delivery access
Every Cherished Vehicle Is Different
The exact transport requirements depend on the individual vehicle. Providing detailed information before collection helps determine whether the transport request can be accommodated.
Ground Clearance
Low vehicles may have specific loading considerations. Always provide accurate information if the car has low or reduced ground clearance.
Vehicle Dimensions
Wide, long or unusually proportioned vehicles should be identified before transport arrangements are confirmed.
Vehicle Weight
Vehicle weight can affect transport suitability, particularly for larger prestige, performance or specialist vehicles.
Wheels & Tyres
Unusual wheel sizes, very wide tyres, damaged wheels or flat tyres should be disclosed before collection.
Modifications
Modified suspension, bodywork or other alterations may affect vehicle dimensions, clearance and loading requirements.
Mechanical Condition
Tell us whether the vehicle starts, drives, rolls and steers and about any known faults that could affect movement or loading.
Bought a Classic or Prestige Car and Need It Collected?
Finding the right classic, collectible or prestige vehicle can mean buying from a seller located a considerable distance from home.
Once you have completed the purchase and agreed collection arrangements with the seller, professional transport may provide a practical way to move the vehicle to your chosen destination.
For more information about general collection following a vehicle purchase, visit our car transport after purchase page.
247 Road Assistance provides vehicle transport and does not automatically provide a pre-purchase inspection or verification of the vehicle's condition.
Before Collection
- Complete your purchase arrangements
- Confirm the vehicle is ready
- Agree collection with the seller
- Provide accurate vehicle details
- Disclose known faults or modifications
- Provide collection access information
- Provide delivery access information
Transport to Garages, Workshops & Specialists
Classic and prestige vehicles are often maintained by specialist garages or workshops that may not be located close to the owner.
Transport can be considered when a suitable vehicle needs to be moved to or from a garage for servicing, repair, diagnosis or specialist work.
If the vehicle is non-running or has a mechanical fault, provide full details before collection.
You can also view our garage and workshop vehicle recovery service.
Possible Workshop Movements
- Owner to specialist garage
- Garage back to owner
- Workshop to workshop
- Restoration specialist transport
- Bodywork or paint specialist
- Mechanical repair facility
- Storage to workshop
Moving Classic Car Restoration Projects
Restoration projects can present very different transport requirements from complete, roadworthy classic cars.
A project vehicle may be non-running, have seized brakes, damaged tyres or missing components. Its condition should be described accurately before transport is arranged.
Where a vehicle cannot move under its own power, see our non-runner vehicle recovery service for additional information.
For Restoration Projects, Tell Us
- Whether the vehicle is complete
- Whether it rolls
- Whether it steers
- Whether brakes are seized
- Tyre condition
- Any missing wheels
- Loose or missing components
- Known loading difficulties
Transporting Cherished Vehicles to & from Storage
Some classic and prestige vehicles spend part of the year in storage or are kept at a location separate from the owner's home.
Professional transport may be useful when moving a vehicle into storage, returning it to the owner or transferring it between suitable storage locations.
Before collection, confirm access arrangements at both locations and make sure the vehicle is ready to be released.

- Delivery postcode
- Access restrictions
- Opening arrangements
- Vehicle condition

Classic Car Transport for Shows & Events
Owners may wish to transport a suitable classic or cherished vehicle to an automotive show, exhibition or other event rather than driving it to and from the venue.
Event transport requirements should be planned in advance where possible. Collection and delivery access, venue arrangements and timings may all need to be considered.
Contact us with the vehicle and journey details so the transport request can be assessed individually.
