CEVA Transport, you can often get them to do it cheaper by going through Moving Cars.

I have used CEVA numerous times and only one car was damaged, and they had no dramas replacing the broken part. Just don't expect it to arrive clean. You can have it put in a cassette, although this is quite expensive, especially from your location.

Does it have to be YOUR car? Why not ask for EOI (with photos) and inject some cash into the pocket of a local??

I used a guy called Dale 0449 122 020. He is a one man operation with an open car trailer towed behind a big diesel van (where he carries motorbikes I believe). He does Perth Adelaide Melbourne Syd and up north, just not sure how far north.

Excellent communication. Being one guy though it will be more dependant on his schedule than with a bigger company.

He sleeps in the van for added security (and reduced overheads lol)

I had mine transported from Adelaide to Newcastle.
