Trade plate vehicle movements in Plymouth and the Tamar

Auction collections from Manheim Saltash, Bridgwater and Westbury

The nearest auction to Plymouth is Manheim Saltash, just over the Tamar in Cornwall with a PL12 postcode. We will collect from Manheim Saltash after release and bring the lot straight back across the bridge. BCA Bridgwater is the nearest BCA up the A38, and BCA Westbury covers lots bought further east.

We confirm your lot has been released before a driver is sent. The page on collecting from auction after release has the details. Salvage vehicles are not suitable for a driven move.

From the Hoe to Estover: finding the right Plymouth address

The A38 runs east to Exeter and west into Cornwall over the Tamar Bridge. The A386 heads north to Tavistock, the A374 serves the city and the Torpoint ferry, and the A379 follows the coast through Plymstock. Saltash, Plympton, Plymstock, Ivybridge, Tavistock and Torpoint are all close neighbours.

Trade units at Estover, Belliver and Coypool have barriers and site managers and sit in a different PL district from the Hoe. Mutley Plain, Union Street and the streets around the Hoe are tight, and customers in Peverell or Plymstock need a legal place for the driver to stop. A match at Home Park fills the roads nearby.

Plympton, Devonport and Saltash each need their own address on the booking, because PL1 and PL6 are very different places to collect from. A short hop from Estover to Mutley is one job, and so is a run from Plymouth to Glasgow. Crossings on the Torpoint ferry need a conversation with our office first, just like other water crossings in our coverage.

Plymouth station and the trip home

Plymouth station, just north of the Hoe, is on the main line and is usually the easiest way home for our driver after a one way delivery. Devonport, Dockyard and Keyham serve the naval side of the city, and we pick whichever stop suits the drop.

Dealer transfers and fleet vans across Plymouth and Cornwall

A typical Plymouth booking is an independent sending a car to a group site in Exeter or Cornwall, or a lot leaving Manheim Saltash once it has been released. Fleet vans come off Estover and Belliver, and every one needs a valid MOT.

When a customer in Mutley is expecting their car, our driver brings it to the door, with no trailer squeezed into a terrace off Mutley Plain. See how a retail handover works for more.

We move single vehicles, so your car never waits for a transporter to fill its deck on the A38. Add a named contact and any barrier code, especially for locked units at Belliver.

Planning around the A38 and the Tamar Bridge

Closures on the A38 at the Marsh Mills junction, a shut Tamar Bridge and a Devonport address with no street name are the usual causes of delay. Give us the PL district, barrier code and who to ask for, so the driver goes straight to Manheim Saltash or a house in Peverell.

No move is too small for full paperwork. A short hop from Plympton to Mutley gets photos at collection and a signature on delivery, just like a long run to Scotland.

Booking a PL1 movement with OVM

We need the keys and a roadworthy vehicle with a valid MOT where one applies. Photos and condition notes are taken at collection, and both proofs reach you in a single email once the car is signed for. Read about what a driven trade plate vehicle movement is.
