B&W Nautilus 802 transport question, please help


I will buy a used 802, no box. Does it have to be upright position during the transport all the time? Will a mini van (DODGE ARAVAN) be suitable for it? If the height is not enough, will lay it down damage the speaker/driver?

Thanks in advance for your post!

IIRC, there is a transit clamp for the midrange driver that you access under a rubber plug at the rear end of the MR enclosure. Check with B&W or a dealer. Perhaps there's mention of it in docs on the B&W website.
How far are you going? Mine were transported from the dealers show room laying down in the back of a Land Rover on some quilts. The trip was about 45 miles and no other precautions were taken. I liked them and bought them and still own today.
I would pick up foam egg crate mattress comfort pads at a local store. I have used 2 queen/king size pads to pick up B&W M801 3's, N802's, Sig 30's, Wilson Audio Sophia's, & just lately Talon Khorus's. Never any issues, also bring cardboard, & some old blankets. And most important 1-2 strong Friends! Good Luck

P.S. Don't take any sharp turns at high speed!!!
Thanks for all your post. So, laying down is not a problem if I have plenty of quilt/pads, right? If this is OK, I don't have to worry about the size(height) of the van. The distance is far, some 300+ miles..
What is this clamp for? I think I read it from somewhere, is it necessary? I am afraid it's missing...
