Carluke ML8 to Essex

Hi Fellow Disco friends.

Found a bumper i need but the seller wont post/send. A courier wont uplift if not packaged..

Its for Mondeo ST estate so not heavy but quite bulky.

Can anyone help and be part of a relay to get it moved?

Any help or ideas greatly appreciated. 1974 S111 SWB 200di conversion, rag top, bronze green. Known as Munch

I’m happy to pick up and wrap if you want to sort out a courier? I’m away this weekend for a few days but could pick up before I go and sort out logistics later. If the guy wants to meet somewhere in the middle even better. I’m in Glasgow

If it definately fits easily in the back of a disco, I am going to Kettering area early April. Would need to fit easily or SWMBO wouldn’t be happy if her seat had to be forward 😲😲 could get off Stephen Joined the BMWX5 45e group

That's really helpful chaps, thanks.

I have just done some measuring. the longest measurement is 1700mm and the width is no more than 1000mm so by my calculations it should fit in a disco with the rear seats down very comfortably without the need to adjust the front two seats...

if you're both happy on that basis i shall make contact with the seller and 'do a deal' and see if i can get him to travel towards Glasgow.

let me know.

Lol, I didn’t realise how big it was going to be no wonder he didn’t want to wrap it. Happy to pick it up though.
