The chap who transported the car to the storage place did it for a reasonable price: 70 euros (including sales tax) for nearly two hours work and the tow truck wasn't a bad deal. Apparently he does this towing as a sweetener for his "real job" which is collecting cars from other parts of Europe and selling them here in (expensive) Holland. I suggested he should have a look at the prices in the UK which are really low compared with Holland. I then suggested that with that in mind perhaps he'd be interested in bringing the car over to me in the UK when I get settled - because he could load up with something else for the trip back...
...we'll see how that pans out. Other than that an other option is to speak to my uncle who used to be a mechanic and see if he's still got his trailer. Otherwise hire of a self drive tow truck would be about the best part of 500GBP for three to four days in the UK.
There's also a vague possibility that I have to come back to Holland after all - but that depends on some legal **** that's going down. I'll know for sure by the end of March on which side of this little bit of water I'm going to be.
