1. A trailer or large van
2. probably more than 1 trip
3. unless you are Mr universe I would say each section is a 2 man lift.

If it's a corry asbestos roof, then you have other issues to consider. ie: getting a new roof, and safely disposing of the old. On no account should you refit the asb sheets back on.
What's the fleabay listing so we can have a gander?

Nothing there to say its on Fleabay.
Perhaps the OP can ask the seller?
Or look for similar sized garages online & see what the total weight is there to get an idea.
Put it this way, it will take lots of dodgy trips if all you got is an estate car

ahhh, knew it
Bargain! Slightly offset by the additional cost of transportation.
Flatbed truck will do it, doesn't have to be a long one, tail lift will be a massive boon, as will some sort of pallet truck/handcart to shift the panels.
Prolly add about £150 - £200 to the cost of your garage, plus fuel if it's a long journey.
Does look like asb to me, if it's a 1980's garage I'd say defo. Do a search on here for asbestos roof, lots of people asking how to remove these safely. Half decent masks and avoiding breakage will see you ok.
The panels will weigh approximately 2.4 tonnes/m³. Would guess they are in the order of 50mm thick, so per metre run will weigh about 1/4 tonne = say 3.5 tonne for three sides, plus roof bits and pieces and door, say 4 tonne all up.
