sorry, dont know if the indy will fit 
I've measured the car and it appears to fit (just) but before I buy one does anyone know for sure if an Indy will fit on a Brian James minno
trailer?
TVM
how much are they? sorry, dont know if the indy will fit
I borrowed a Minno to take my Indy to get it's exhaust made.
It was OK length wise. Width wise, I am running 14" wheels with 185 tyres and it just went on. Took a couple of goes up the ramp to "get
the wheels in line"! Once there it was snugg with the rails touching the tyre walls.
After a there and back trip of 20 miles, I couldn't see any damage to the tyre walls, but the side rails had definately changed colour, from a
galv to polished!
So, providing you're not running massive offsets or 17" tyres you should be OK.
If it doesn't fit I might take it off your hands!!

these are a fantastic trailer, just double check the width, the sierra track is quite wide.
My Indy fits on my trailer with about 1/2" either side (not a brian james one though) so getting on takes a bit of practice. Loads of room front
to back though
Seems odd to me why anyone would want a trailer to carry minnows...as a kid i always used a bucket.........
When I bought a new trailer last year to transport my indy,I found the mino to be only a 5'5" bed ,so was not wide enough for the Indy,you
may just get one on,but the tyres/wheels will rub on the,mushroom bolt heads on the inside of the bed channel,this results in damage to your
alloys,the best option is to go for a 5' 7" bed,this gives you a 1" either side,which is just about the minimum you can get away
with,even then you have to be carefull loading.The brian james clubman is 5' 7" wide but these are a lot larger in overal size,and more
expensive.
Have you looked at woodford trailers,they all worked for brian james then they set up there own company a few years ago,they are great quality,I
bought my trailer for £750 last year,they built it to my spec,5'7" wide bed,10' long just right for my mk,they come with spare wheel,
hitch lock,he even threw in a set of wheel straps,well please with it.
When I collected my Velocity (in a part built state) I hired a trailer from Woodford trailers. It was a fantastic piece of kit and very well built -
and they are very helpfull there as well.
They seem quite a bit cheaper than Brian James and equally as good(or better!). I used to have a Minnow for shifting my mini around and it appeared a
fair bit heavier than the Woodford trailer and most things I needed for it were optional extras which did not seem the case when speaking with the
guys at Woodford - wish I had found them before I bought from Brian James

Thanks all. These trailers go for about £1-1.2k second hand but it sounds like a real tight fit.
I looked at the Woodford website prices but I hadn't seen any for sale s/h. However, it sounds like I better call them for a proper deal. Does an
11ft long Indy really fit on a 10ft trailer? That saves a few quid if it does.
Hi,
I've a 2 wheel Brian James 'A' Series trailer with a 6'1'' x 11'0'' bed - ideal for Locost type
vehicles.
I'd accept £750 for it if it may be of interest?

How about a towing dolly? They are cheaper and smaller than a full trailer, also would be easier to store. Has anyone tried this method of towing instead?
Towing Dollys are a good option, but remember a car on a dolly needs to be taxed and insured - not great for a track day only/sprint/hillclimb machine.
towing dollys are only actually legal for recovery, and speed is limited to 40mph on motorways and dual carriageways, and 20mph everywhere else.

I think I need a bigger garage or a smaller car. I'm gonna try and borrow/rent a 5'7" wide trailer from someone and see if it fits. Anyone in the Cheshire/Manchester area got one I can try for size?
