Utility trailer for sale, needs some work.

Hi. I am selling a utility trailer the needs some work doing to it. I planned to restore it but other projects have got in the way and I don’t have the time for it now.
It is all steel construction with 750kg indespension type axles bolted to a square box section backbone and draw-bar. The sides and tailgate are steel plate and the perimeter of the chassis is steel angle. It has a good covering of surface rust in places but the main issue is the steel angle which has corroded to point where it needs replacing. This shouldn’t be a big job for someone with and angle grinder and a welder. The back bone and draw-bar are in good solid condition. The electrics are included but I removed them to start the restoration and have no idea if they still work. Two years ago I refurbished the wheels and had new tyres fitted which have done very few miles since. I also fitted a new 25mm thick plywood base which currently sits on timber battens due to the steel angle being too badly corroded. There is also a removable ladder rack included. The trailer measures 6ft by 4ft. It can be towed away with a suitable light board fitted but in its current condition will not take very much weight. There some photos on my flicker site at :

I am asking £60 for it, that is really just to cover my costs for the tyres and ply wood base. This would make a very good and sturdy trailer. Please note that the hitch lock shown in the photos is not included in the sale. It can be collected from South Nottingham, NG11.
Thanks for reading.
Chris.

Has it been IVA'd?

As far as I am aware, that only applies to new trailers sold after 29th October 2012. This is not a new trailer.
