Birmingham sits at the centre of the UK’s classic car calendar as well as its road network, hosting the NEC Classic Motor Show every November and the Practical Classics Restoration Show earlier in the year, alongside a deep concentration of restoration specialists across the Black Country. Whether a car needs to reach a show stand on time, move between a restorer and its owner, or come home after years of work, we collect and deliver it on a tilt-bed transporter with an electric winch and wheel straps, one driver door-to-door.

Access, the Clean Air Zone and timing in Birmingham
Birmingham’s Clean Air Zone covers the inner ring road, and we account for it in the quote so a city-centre collection or delivery does not add a surprise charge afterwards. The M6 and M42 make most of the region straightforward to reach, but show weekends change the picture: NEC event days bring heavy traffic and site-specific unloading procedures, and we plan collection and delivery times around the show’s own gate and stand-access windows rather than fighting the queues. Restoration workshops in the Black Country are often down industrial estates or older streets with tighter turning space, which we account for when scheduling a non-runner collection.
How much does classic car transport in Birmingham cost?
Local moves within Birmingham and the Black Country typically start from around £150; longer runs are quoted per mile. Price depends on distance, whether the car is a runner or a non-runner, access at both ends, and whether the job needs to hit a fixed show-arrival window. Every quote is all-in, covering the Clean Air Zone, fuel, tolls and loading.
