trailers
on the industrial estate just up the road from me is a bloke making trailers,he said he would make me a 4 wheeled trailer ,galvinised,all the electics
,jockey wheel ,the whole thing so i could just tow it away,i told him how low these kitcars are and he said he will make it so that i can leave it
hitched to the back of my car and just drive the kitcar on
i have seen some of his work,its very tidy and robust and will make to any specification. the price £800-£1000. is this over the odds and would
anybody else be intrested

that sounds to be a very competetive price - i sold an old bent one for around £500, so surely new for 8-10 is a bargain.

That is a absolute steal. You would struggle to buy a decent second hand one for that money.

Hi, I can vouch that the MK (woodford)trailer tows well with my Indy on the back.
I have towed cars literally hundreds of times, and I think you are wasting your money ordering a four wheel trailer if you only intend to tow a Locost
or indy.
A two wheeler is easier to reverse and move about by hand,and most importantly keeps the weight down.
If you need to carry heavier cars then that is a different matter.
Once I've finished a project why do I start another?

good point about 4 wheels - mine was a proper twat. i used to have to bounce it to get it round by hand.

iv only used a 2 axel trailer a couple of times but towing it was a pleasure and iv heard a few people say that after towing cars on both single and 2
axel trailers they would have the 2 every time,i know pushing them a round is harder but i dont plan on doing that much

The main thing Ox is to think about the tow car,if it is quite a heavy car youre ok, but if its around or below a ton you will probably be over weight
with a twin axle and a 650kg car as well.
I'm ok as i drive 1.3 tonne of Saab turbo supercar

cheers for that dean,thats something to look into,my car is a golf tdi ,not sure on the weight of it,but if my kitcar weighs in at 650 something will
be getting the chop
but if you could get a 2 axel for the same price as a single axel would would you still go for the single
