Trade plate vehicle movements in Lymington and the New Forest

Reaching Lymington: the A337, the A35 and the New Forest roads

The A337 is the road into Lymington, north through Lyndhurst to the M27 and west to New Milton. The A35 crosses the Forest towards Christchurch. None of these is dual carriageway all the way, and bank holiday traffic and ferry queues can slow the final stretch, so we agree a sensible date with you rather than promise a same day slot.

The High Street and the quay are tight, Ampress Park usually means a barrier and a Forest lane out towards Boldre may have a height bar or nowhere obvious to stop. Pennington and Everton are different final stretches again, so a full postcode makes all the difference.

We work across Pennington, Brockenhurst, New Milton, Lyndhurst, Christchurch and Southampton. A Pennington to Lymington hop is one job, and so is Lymington to Glasgow.

Lymington Town or Lymington Pier: tell us which

Lymington has two stations on the branch from Brockenhurst. Lymington Pier serves the Isle of Wight ferries and Lymington Town serves the town, so we plan which one our driver uses to get home after a one way delivery.

If the car is at the Pier rather than in town, please say so on the booking. Our drivers work on the mainland, so a vehicle already on the Isle of Wight needs a different plan.

Auction collections from BCA Westbury, BCA Camberley and BCA Bristol

There is no auction in Lymington, so local buyers usually collect from BCA Westbury in Wiltshire, a run up the A36 or the A338 once the lot is released. BCA Camberley lies to the north and BCA Bristol further west.

We confirm release with the auction before a driver sets off, so nobody waits at a closed gate. Read about auction collection after release. Salvage vehicles cannot travel on trade plates.

Dealer moves and fleet vans from Ampress Park

A New Forest independent sending a car to a group site in Southampton or Bournemouth is a typical Lymington booking, along with part exchanges heading to Westbury once they are legal to drive. Fleet vans from Ampress need a valid MOT before we can move them.

If a customer in Pennington is waiting for their car, our driver brings it to the door. Find out how we manage site transfers and retail handovers, and include a named contact at both ends.

Closures on the A337 through the Forest, ferry traffic at the Pier and a Brockenhurst address booked as Lymington cause most delays. Tell us exactly where the vehicle is and choose a date you can keep.

Booking an SO41 vehicle movement with OVM

The vehicle must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required. Our trade plates and motor trade road risk insurance cover it from collection until it is signed for. Condition and photos are recorded at collection, the receiver signs on delivery and both proofs reach you in one report by email. Learn more about driven trade plate vehicle movements and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow.
