Donating a FF MK 2 need a lift.

I work for a school in SE Ma, and our Auto program builds ff roadsters as part of the program. We are donating our first build car from 5yrs ago to the "Teens at Risk" foundation and it will need a lift to get to Monticello NY.

There they have it set-up to go for a run around the track to be filmed for a short video, where the car will then be auctioned off as the video will be playing in the background to generate excitment for the bidding of the car.

We are looking for someone with and enclosed trailer to make the trip as we do not have the means in which to transport the car. We are willing to pay for the services we are not looking for a donation (however that would be great).

The schedule would be that the car could be picked up anytime between April 17-19th and needs to be at the track no later than the late afternoon of April 20th.

If anyone is interested I can give further details please email me at ganderson@flcis.com

Our website for the school is F L Chamberlain School | Chamberlain International School

this is the car we will be shipping

Thumbs up Ron and John, Great guys

Well the journey begins, Ron and John came by this morning to pick up our Mk3 for donataion to the Teens at Risk foundation.
This was my first time meeting them and I must say what a great couple of guys they are.

I would like to once again thank them for taking the time out of there day to do this for us, bringing a car from Ma.to Ny. is no little thing in my book, I cant express what it means to us for the helping hand.

Thanks again Guys
All of the staff and Kids at the F.L. Chamberlian School

It was a pleasure to meet you all as well. The trip went smoothly, and the folks in NY made delivery a breeze. I enjoyed the day out of the office, and it was great weather for a road trip.
My best to you all at the Chamberlain school, and good luck with the auction!
