Can't you just get a few of you to lift the car up, and roll it over onto its roof? Surely its not that heavy with most of the body panels took off.
Then just wack the engine on a pallet and drag it up the yard

can you not dig the gravel out in two channels and put the blocks of wood in so you can make a temporary road for yourself?
then you could just roll the pallet truck out over them

i would say use the wood to leaver it up to the get the trolley jack under neath to get it up off the floor, of course i would say get a couple of people to help you keep it on the trolley jack, if you have enough wooden boards, line them up down the drive, and try to move the jack down the wooden boards, and also put the pallet at the end of the drive,
Or you could man handle it into the 206 your breaking and roll the 206 down the drive (if it has wheels) and then left it out on to the pallet.
I'll keep thinking how else you could do it 
I can see the pic now, could you not jack the car up and put it on axle stands surely that should give you just enough room to move it out

Lift the body up over the engine with a few friends & roll it backwards.
Put the wooden boards down on top of the gravel for the pallet truck.
Lift the engine on to the pallet.
Pick it up with the pallet truck & roll it where needed.
OR
Borrow a counter balance truck & all your problems are solved

We did attempt to lift the front of it but its pretty heavy still.
There is a small pond behind the car so it cant be rolled backwards.
I'm thinking of cutting the front out with the angle grinder & dragging it out.

Oh and shell cant be rolled over as the doors & glass is still in it and they're needed. Plus there are bushes all around it.

I tried that but I had to give a refund as the courrier needs it at the top of the drive as the lorry cant get through the gate.

Get a few friends round to lift the car clear, then lay planks along the gravel drive to form two tracks so that you can drag the engine (on a pallet) along using a tow rope and someones car with a towbar fitted.

Don't you know anyone with a lorry with a hiab? Just get them to pick the car up. Surely there's someone who lives near you thats delivers things or does bangers.

I was thinking of something along those lines, but lifting it onto a pallet, thats on a pallet truck on a wooden board. And then rolling the pallet truck via laying down boards.
Just after other ideas incase someone had a better one.

Cut the bottom slamp panel so the engine can come straight threw the front of the car. Put engine on wooden board put a hole in wooden board tie a piece of rope threw it and drag down the drive with another car. Just an idea.

A lorry cant get down the drive due to the gate & cattle grid
