    No but depending on the car and if he would cover the expenses I would do it.

    Reminds me of that 80's film where someone is paid to drive a rare 911 from NYC to California (iirc). They were picked via interview but the man they picked for the job suffered from a split personality syndrome and makes it there on time but the car was in absolute sh1te.

    Surely driving it would be the best option, make a road trip of it.

    Wonder who does Fiat/Alfa transport? Don't know myself and never see any on the back of a truck.

    If you can find out, that would probably be the cheapest way - get the car up to where the Fiat/Alfa's leave Italy from. They'd either go straight on a boat from a port in Italy, or possibly train transport across Europe to Emden or Hook of Holland, then boat from there.

    Reminds me of the film named “Moving” and it was a Saab Turbo, great classic movie.

    Try the likes of www.celticfwd.ie and see if they know of a RoRo service available from Italy, it may work out cheaper than on a transporter.

    This world really has been turned on its head the last few years. You know it when a man can say you never really see Fiats or Alfas on the back of a truck and keep a straight face!

    Sorry, meant to say, check Grimaldi Lines, an Italian RoRo freight company with weekly services to Cork and AFAIK also Dublin.

    I meant car transporters rather than recovery trucks, but you rarely see that many Fiat / Alfa around anymore really. The one's that are around are either more or less brand new, or obviously belong to enthusiasts and in great nick - the rest have just died at this stage :pac:

    Had a delivery in this morning - low and behold, 4 Fiat's on the truck! Green Tiger truck so might be worth giving them a shout OP.

    Not really sure whether they do Fiat/Alfa transport as the rest of the truck were 3 Fords (2 coming here), and an Opel - the Fords and Opel should be NVD/Euromed, but they screwed up and "forgot" one of our Fords, so it's possible it was a subcontract job to Green Tiger.

    BrendanBuddha beat me to it, but you might want to give a call to Grimaldi Lines:

    Salerno would be about 2.5 hours drive from Rome. No idea about the costs or the RoRo shipment 'though.

    Do you know what kind of car it is OP?
    I'm guessing it's a classic.
    I've done the transport from Italy thing but just as a driver. The worst part are the tolls in both Italy and France.
    I'd imagine shipping it would be come at around 1k. Pure guess though
