Help towing a mini I'm buying!

Post by minimike »

Hi all,

I'm buying a mini tonight :-)
However, when I went to transfer my insurance they said they wouldn't let me transfer my insurance as its a classic!

I don't want to buy a classic policy as it needs some work and I think it'll take a few months to get it right...!

Can anybody recommend a towing company that could tow it from Tallaght to Palmerstown this evening 18/04/2017?

Many thanks in advance! :-)

Hi nutterboy, I got sorted thanks. I meant to update here but have been flat out since! I got a recovery guy to tow it so worked out OK. I'm on glenmaroon Road! Good to know there's another mini guy nearby!

I got a mini city! Pretty happy with it. I've been looking for about a year and I think this one is pretty decent. Doors need doing a there is a tiny piece around windscreen and maybe a little on one a panel but overall sills etc are excellent. Looking forward to getting stuck into it! Need to get a welder next....!
