Trailer for free!!
phelpsa - 8/4/04 at 01:47 PM

Got a big day tomorrow. Just bought a trailer for the grand sum of £0, and some wheels for the grand sum of £215. Going to collect them tomorrow.

The trailer is caravan chassis based and was originally asigned to carrying an MG midget. Needs a bit of work but you can't complain if you are getting it for free.

The wheels are 5x KN Jupiter wheels off a cateringvan with 5x decent Yokohama A021-R tyres.

Going all the way to Surrey on a bank holiday weekend is going to be fun.

The usual caravan towers stuff there 'vans full of table and bed, at least mine is stuffed full of Locost. I am not protecting the people who do 50mph in the middle lane, but the national speed limit while towing a caravan is 56mph.

Just collected the trailer and I am glad I didn't have to pay anything for it.

I take it there was a good reason for it being 'free' then ? ie. take this away please ?

Well, NO lights, in the advert it said they just needed work, no jockey wheel, brake rod had snapped but is still there....

It can be cleaned up tbut there will need to be a lot of work.

Anyway the wheels were perfect. Only a bit of kerbing on the spare.

I picked up another caterham bargain the other day. Bought 5 HPC wheels for £230 in perfect condition with good michelin pilots. The bloke had bought them for a spare set, but never really used them so he wanted rid of them.
Was also going to get a caterham heated screen for £30 including surrounds and supports, i was away so couldnt pick it up for a couple of weeks, the bloke said he would keep it for me, but i email him when i wanted to pick it up and havent heard from him since. So im guessing someone else got a bargain.
