I could possibly have done it but am at work in the Goldfields for 2 weeks. He's getting a pre-purchase inspection organised.

Thanks ! I like it.

I did the same thing for my 635. Flew to Darwin to see Vinnie and the car. Had it trucked back by CEVA. Big mistake. They were 3 weeks late in getting it to me. When it got here it looked like it had been trucked through every single iron ore mine from Darwin to Perth, with the rear windows down ! :evil: By the time it got to me battery was dead flat.

My 6er came from Perth. Trying to get it over to Sydney was a pain and CEVA never even replied to my enquiries. I ended up getting it brought over by WA Freightlines. They don't specialise in cars particularly but were very helpful and did it cheap as a backload. The only slight issue was that the bloke I bought it from had to take it to the depot in Perth at shortish notice as being a backload means it's on a sort of standby. He was happy to do it though and 3 days it got to me. It was a bit dusty as anything that crosses the Nullarbor in a truck that isn't a sealed container is going to be.

Worth getting in touch with them.
