I bought a car from the Isle Of Wight a few years ago for my son. We lived in Norfolk at the time and it was the model he wanted. The owner did bring it over on the ferry to the mainland though! We went 50/50 on the ferry costs.
Sold my F850GS last bank holiday Monday….the new owner left with it around 11am…. 12:25 pm I was on the way to Horsham in West Sussex to look at (and buy my new ( to me) FJR 1300.
It was an 8.5 hour round trip .. the M25 was rammed
