Title: car transporter/trailer in the midlands
Post by: jonathanh on 18 November 2012, 13:58:39
  i need to transport a car to suffolk in a month or so (and bring another back). one of them is SORN'd so I need a full trailer not an A frame. 

does anyone have one for loan (in return for beer tokens of course...) in the midlands/coventry area?  I know its a bit of a long shot....

If you draw a blank they can be hired for sensible money :y

  I have done the same from a trailer centre in Essex. Best bit is you know all brakes and lights will be working correctly. I used to be involved with banger racing years ago. My own trailer was always maintained correctly but many other racers didnt bother. they would lend them out at the drop of a hat, but then the risk is to the driver of the tow vehicle to check it will stop and has working lights. Unless you know the lender well, be aware, its your licence.

many thanks all - yes I am a fussy bugger when it comes to the overrun brakes.  I run an indespension trailer van and rebuilt the brakes on that to be sure they are as new.  I'll see what I can hire for a reasonable rate
