There about 5k for a covered brian james trailer with tyre rack

dad decided to build ours, but we didnt cover it as the fibreglass lid would have been a bitch!

There really smart we used to tow the caterhams in them so no one knew what was being towed

Or build one

My dad impresses me how he can reverse out trailer with say the ultima on and the toyota surf around a 90 degree wall and into a garage

Broster - looks like hes got the right vehicle for towing as well


Just make sure it doesnt get nicked as expensive trailers can dissapear quite quickly and not be traced

looked into making one before and to get a twin braked axle and all the steel would cost just more than getting one of ebay!

he has a tracker fitted to the trailer and to his truck so not to worry!

think is if you build it you end up with it weighing alot more, you may disagree but having build several trailers and worked for a coach builder who did dimilar stuff i can guarentee you cant make one as strong and as light as a company such as brian james etc....

Ah thats good then!

Ours isnt that heavy.

Its got a twin braked axle same as brian james etc, as its off a caravan and my brother runs the company

So the chassis the same, it winds up on a worm gear and the car then drives straights up, winch is electronic and works from back of the truck

il try get some pictures before long
