trailer chassis for sale

i built a trailer a few years back but dont have a car to go on it. Pictures are here:

http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/photos.php?action=gal&user=JoelP&folder=trailer

it has been sat outside for about 2 years, so has a lot of surface rust. It also has NO WHEELS OR SUSPENSION, as im keeping these for a smaller trailer for work. I spent £80 on the pair of suspension units and about 100 on tyres, but if i was remaking i would get a pair of 550kgs axles to make it a 4 wheeler, unbraked for 750kgs max but with some leeway in the spring rating.

Its for sale well cheap as it will get cut up within weeks if no one wants it. Theres about £100 of metal in it and maybe 20 hours work, but it can go for whatever gets offered, around £30 would be ball park. Less than that i may as well modify it for the new one.

Was designed for a bec to keep it under 750kgs, but i towed a xflow cec on it to teeside and back without bother (besides the wheels falling off ).

Obviously buyer beware as its homemade.

Any interest?

Note, includes tow hitch and a possibly broken jocket wheel, but no axle and no wheels/tyres.

should add, photos are from when new, and the top part is because i was going to make it a box trailer, and also to strengthen the base. All in the interest of keeping weight down.

Looks a good job, proberbly about what i would build really, although unfortuantly i dont have a car yet so a trailer would be a bit premature!

162cms internal, though you could cut the top part off if needed.
