Classic Car Transport & Recovery
Clark & Sons Logistics moves classic cars, project cars and restorations from a Clacton-on-Sea base — locally across Essex, further afield into Suffolk and Norfolk, and nationwide when the job needs it. Vehicles are strapped securely to a flatbed recovery truck for the move, whether the car runs or not. Call for a straightforward quote.

Classic car transport and recovery, done properly
Careful, fully insured moves for classics, project cars and restorations — whether the vehicle runs, needs recovering after a breakdown, or is being collected for a rebuild.
Project cars and restoration shells
Stripped shells, part-restored builds and project vehicles moved between a private address, storage and the workshop doing the work. If it can be strapped down safely, we can move it.
Classic saloons and limousines
Older saloons, limousines and larger classics collected and delivered on a flatbed, with the vehicle kept steady and off the road surface for the whole journey.
Non-runner and breakdown recovery for classics
Classic cars do not always break down at a convenient time or place. We have collected classics from roadside stops and forecourts out of hours, moving the vehicle on safely rather than leaving it exposed.
Specialist builds and replicas
Low, open-top replica and kit-car builds can need transport rather than a road journey. This specialist replica was secured on the flatbed for its move.
How classic cars are moved
Classic, kit and specialist vehicles are transported on flatbed recovery trucks rather than driven under their own power, with soft straps used to secure the car without marking bodywork.
Flatbed transport, not a fully enclosed trailer
Vehicles travel strapped to an open flatbed rather than inside a fully enclosed transporter. If your classic needs enclosed cover specifically, call and we can talk through whether that is achievable for the job.
Collection from wherever the car is
Private addresses, driveways, storage units, holiday parks and restoration workshops — we have collected classics from all of these, subject to access and vehicle size.

Case study: non-runner classic collected from Frinton-on-Sea
Frinton-on-Sea to a Suffolk restoration workshop
A non-runner classic project car was collected from a private address in Frinton-on-Sea and transported to a restoration workshop in Suffolk. The car could not be driven, so it was loaded and strapped to the flatbed for the full journey and delivered directly to the workshop carrying out the rebuild.
