Mr Hatch also had these kind words to say :
Hatch Back!!!!!!!!
Hooked on American classics.
Well here we are back with Kevin and his team at hills shipping. Last year we decided to change our chrysler for a cadillac but the only one that would fit in our garage was a 41 fastback which we found in New Jersey. We employed Kevin and his team to ship it into southampton. It all went smoothly until i saw it for the first time, it needed serious work. We were disappointed with the car and realised we were never going to be passionate about it so we set about doing the work on it and sold it to a car dealer in holland.
Unperterbed we began looking for our dream car once again. We found a one owner 1971 coupe de-ville all original with just 65000 miles on the clock. We did our homework and went into everything thoroughly with the owner Harry Clarke from Classic Promenade who specialises in quality rare classics. He was very helpful and imformative a real pleasure to do business with. Now the fun starts, it wont fit into the garage?! My first port of call ( excuse the pun) was Kevin at Hills shipping, i just left it all to him and his team. I had just 6 weeks to widen our garage! So weekends were taken up knocking down, concreting and building. We just managed it by taking advantage of the 7 day free parking facility at the docks.
We assembled all the paperwork from Hills and went to the docks to collect it. Thanks to Kevin and his team all we had to do was drive it home. It was fabulous everything we ever dreamed of, we love it! It is a special feeling for classic car owners to have a car that turns heads and is lovely to drive. Thanks to Kevin at hills shipping for helping us to realise our dream.
This one is for Keeps and with the greatest respect to kevin. Hatch wont be back!
