I have been offered a UK plated Jeep Cherokee which is in a small town just outside Malaga. All I have to do is pick it up. I believe it does run to a degree, but needs a crank sensor so is a bit erratic and therefore can't be driven. If anyone happens to know of a spare space on a transporter coming back this way please let me know!
Thanks, Craig.

Last roll of the dice on this one, the property its on is due to be sold at the end of the year and the best price I've had is £1500 to drag it back. I don't have the time to go and get it myself sadly, so I suspect this one is going over the rainbow (weigh)bridge.

No option to have someone local look at it? If it is genuinely just a crank sensor then that ought to be easy enough? Then you just need someone nutty enough to fancy a cheap EasyJet flight and an adventure. Plenty of them on here

I hadn't considered getting someone local to look at it. If I had the time, I'd be flying out there and driving it back, would be great fun. Sadly not an option currently.
Needs to come back the the midlands, Leicester/Coventry area ideally, but getting it to the UK would be a good start!

Slampi replied very quickly! That's 3 quotes now, all around £1500!! Looks like it's going over the rainbow weighbridge!

Surely you have a mate that will take a £30 flight to Malaga and drive it back?

I don't know anyone that has the time. Plus there's the fact it's not been driven in 5 years. I was hoping to maybe convince my better half to go on holiday in the area and then I could spend half a day getting it running and giving it a good check over and then maybe fly back back to pick it up another time but thats not feasible anytime in the next year now
