Auto Train would be fun. Had a friend who took his early 1960s Impala on the train from NC. to FL.

After rereading Biggles post, l don't think he is up to driving his mini from NY to Lorton VA and then on from Sanford FL to his destination

Any other offers ? Big AL

The Auto train is great...  cheaper than fuel and a motel room (the family refuse to do 95 in one day

Just make sure you go the right way at the right time....  North to south needs to be done at the end of winter ... when all the Snow birds are going the other way....  It will save you $$$$

Cheers, Ian

dido on skinny hugh.. aka dr mini.. fast and damn cheap..  later bc

I've had friends take the auto train. They had a blast and made some new friends along the way.
That being said you can call a shipping broker. I've used four seasons for both personal and "work" cars.

Where in Florida are you moving to?

If you want to consider a good adventure = Amtrak  - Runs vehcile train from Lorton VA = South of DC= to Sanford, florida


Passenger ticket is about 100$ + Vehicle charge is 195$  and it takes 16-18 hrs to get to florida! Riding the train!>

Ive heard it works!

Get your mini to DC and ride the train down!

I will second Malcolm's endorsement of Hugh for the job, Hell next to me, Hugh is the best around

Big AL Mini Mover

What part of NY are you in, and when do you anticipate the move?  I am moving a Mini from NY next week.  It's not going to FL, bIut at any rate I will be up that way.  I'd love to help.  Perhaps you could tie the move in with MME at the end of June and we would love to see you play with your Mini. 

Do you have a vehicle capable of towing?
I would just buy or rent a trailer and trailer it down.

Then, if you bought, just sell the trailer in Florida

Hugh Cannon/Dr Mini hauls Mini's and parts around the Country, he should chime in here.

Hi all, I haven,t posted in a long time but still stop by to browse the forum now and then.

I am sure there have already been many discussions on transporting a mini, but I have not been successful finding anything by searching the forum or topics.

I am moving from NY to Florida and I would like to explore transport options form others that have moved a mini to another state or just a long distance. Mine is a 76 in good condition, I store it in the NY writer months and drive it weekly in the summer, on local trips fo 25 miles or less. It is not mechanically sound enough to consider driving that far, nor am I sound enough for that kind of adventure.

Any ideas, or articles you can point me to?

Thanks, Blaine (Biggles)
