Hey guys!
As a kind christmas present family friends of ours our giving us their old BeoVision Avant. The only problem is they live in Germany and we live in Scotland and the only way for getting the TV across to us is to drive it. What is the best position for putting the TV in the car? is it a safe idea to put it on its back, Front, or on its side?

Best is standing up.
Or lying with the screen down. (so I've heard)
my mate the b&o engineer always lays them face down! if he cant stand them up
Search the forum ... there was quite a detailed thread on this about two years ago !
Was there not some aeroboard box made for transporting them? Also worth considering what the specs for the avants were as supplied to each country.

Thanks for the help guys. i guess i will have to put it face down in the car with towels and polystyerine inderneath. Will i have to get an adapter so the TV can work with British plugs? Beacause the TV has been plugged into a european plug socket all its life

Two options. Plug the Euro plug into a Euro to UK adapter or better still, cut of the existing one and fit a UK plug!
wont there be a voltage difference? surley that will need adjusting. worth checking before you put a brit plug on it! (not adapter)

Its 220 volts instead of 240 so it should be fine
EU mains voltages are all, in the main, normallised at 230 volts nowadays.
The Euro 2 pin mains plug can be fitted into an adaptor for £2 or so.
All country changes can be done via the service menu in the Avant.
If you are converted to digital TV in your area, you will of course require a Freeview box or Sky digital or similar.
It will probably cost you more to pick it up and transport it home than you could buy one for locally. In general, Avants are worth very little in the UK!!!!
Don't for get the remote as they are worth about the same as the TV!!!!
