Enclosed, insured, and reputable. Only real challenge for the driver is opening the doors once loaded in the truck so I would be on the lookout for that. Maybe add some temporary padding to the door? Also, a driver sliding in and out of the car may scratch the door sill. I have mine covered in clear bra, but maybe add something there/be on the lookout for that.

I highly recommend Passport Transport. I've had them transport my MBCA concours class winning W201 a couple of times and they did a first rate job. They're very nice and they took great care of my car. Passport is also the preferred transport company for MBCA.

I've never heard of them. You need to be very careful since you're transporting such a valuable car. You need to go with a well known, reputable company and not some unknown, fly by night company.That's why I recommended Passport Transport. They are a well known, reputable company and they will pick your car up from wherever you keep it and take it safely to the new location.
